"That Girl" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Esthero. It was planned to be album second CD-single from her debut album Breath from Another. However record company declined to release song as a single after disappointing sales of the album, although its video picked up Canadian airplay.
Song received positive reviews from critics who called it "brass-tinged" and compared to songs by smooth jazz group Swing Out Sister.

Despite no official release of the single, a music video for the song was released in June 1999 and received airplay on Canadian and American TV. The music video for the song was filmed on 17–18 April 1999 in Toronto and directed by Patrick Hoelck.

The music video features Esthero as an alien living in a sealed glass room in the middle of the street presumably because she can't breathe air outside. At one point she decides to leave the room and puts on an outfit that is mostly a clear plastic spacesuit. She then walks to a restaurant where she sees a young man (played by Tony Ward) and takes the suit off. After that she passes out and wakes in the glass room with that man looking at her.

The music video was nominated for "Cinematography of the Year" at the 1998 MuchMusic Video Awards, ultimately losing to "Release" by The Tea Party.

The track was featured in the movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, however it not included on official soundtrack.
