"Where Them Girls At" (originally titled "Where Dem Girls At?") is a song by French DJ and record producer David Guetta, featuring vocals from American rapper Flo Rida and Trinidadian-born American rapper Nicki Minaj. The track was released on 2 May 2011, via Virgin Records, serving as the lead single from Guetta's fifth studio album, Nothing but the Beat. The track was written by Mike Caren, Jared Cotter, Rida, Guetta, Minaj, Juan and Oscar Silinas, Giorgio Tuinfort and Sandy Vee.

Initially, "Where Them Girls At" was recorded in 2010 and featured just Rida, however after getting into touch with Minaj about a collaboration, Guetta played Minaj the record and she decided to record vocals for it. Computer hackers obtained an a cappella version of the song, and added their own production before leaking the song online. Guetta and his label subsequently mastered a proper version of the song, released it earlier than planned and called an employee of The Pentagon to investigate the matter. An accompanying music video for the song was filmed in Los Angeles in May 2011 and released on 28 June 2011.

Guetta first worked with Flo Rida in 2010, when the duo collaborated for Rida's album Only One Flo (Part 1) and the Step Up 3D soundtrack. The duo released "Club Can't Handle Me" in 2010 under the condition that Rida would collaborate on a song for Guetta's fifth album Nothing but the Beat. Guetta would later approach Nicki Minaj for a collaboration, and although Minaj wanted to appear solo on one of Guetta's records, agreed to appear on "Where Them Girls At" after hearing it for the first time.
