"God Is a Girl" is the third and final single from German trance group Groove Coverage's debut album, Covergirl.
The chorus of the song uses a melody piece from "Jefferson", a Roxette song from their Room Service album (2001). The writer of "Jefferson", Per Gessle, made an arrangement with Groove Coverage to receive a rumoured 50% of royalties from the song, though Gessle said that figure was "...far from the truth." Gessle is listed as one of the song's official songwriters/composers on BMI's website.
Singaporean artist Jocie Guo Mei Mei covered the song under the name, "Ai Qing Nü Shen (Love Goddess)" on her 2nd album, "My Darling." A music video accompanies it.
"God Is a Girl" was very successful in Germany and Austria. "God Is a Girl" reached number 1 in China and there were 1.5 million legal downloads.
