“It Girl” is the second music video and single from American singer-songwriter, actor and dancer Jason Derulo‘s upcoming second studio album, Future History.

The music video premiered on Jason Derulo’s official YouTube channel in mid August 2011.

The music video for “It Girl” was directed by Colin Tilley and shot at a mansion in Malibu, sitting on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Gossip Girl actress, Tika Sumpter, plays Derülo’s “It Girl” in the video. Derülo told MTV News that he wanted the video to look like an open book. He said,

I wanted it to be almost like a photo album, so every single scene is kind of like a picture that you’re kind of looking into our relationship. So it is a 1920s vibe, it’s black and white, very high fashion—you know, you’ll see me very dapper in 1920s, Frank Sinatra-ish. So you’ll see the cars from that era, you’ll definitely feel the vibe of the house having that 1920s vibe as well. So it’s very different and very intimate, and it’s not a lot of dancing—it’s more personal.

Lyrics for Jason Derulo – It Girl

[Jason Derulo – Verse 1:]
I’ve been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just tryna find ya
I’ve been like a manic insomniac
5 steps behind you
Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit
Check please…
Cause I finally found the girl of…my dreams
Much more than a Grammy award
That’s how much you mean to me

[Chorus:]
You could be my it girl
Baby you’re the shhh girl
Lovin’ you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You’re my biggest hit girl

[Hook:]
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like…oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like…oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

[Verse 2:]
You can’t help but turn them heads
Knockin’ them dead
Dropping like flies around you
If I get your body close not letting go
Hoping you’re about to
Tell them other guys they can lose your number
You’re done!
They don’t get another shot cause you’re…love drunk
Like a TV show playing reruns
Every chance I get
I’mma turn you on

[Chorus:]
You could be my it girl
Baby you’re the shhh girl
Lovin’ you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You’re my biggest hit girl

[Hook:]
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like…oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like…oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

[Bridge:]
Can’t seem to stop you from…running, running
Through my, through my mind, mind
Just keep it coming, coming
Til I make you mine, mine
You’ve got that something, something
I wanna be with girl
You’re my greatest hit girl
Just say this is it girl…
Hey baby…
Don’t you know you’re my it girl

[Chorus:]
You could be my it girl
Baby you’re the shhh girl
Lovin’ you could be a crime
Crazy how we fit girl
This it girl
Give me 25 to life
I just wanna rock all night long
And put you in the middle of my spotlight
You could be my it girl
You’re my biggest hit girl

[Hook:]
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like…oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like…oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud
