"Girls, Girls, Girls" is the fourth studio album by iconic American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, released on May 15, 1987 by Elektra Records. This album showcases the band's softer, glam rock side rather than the traditional heavy metal, which brought them to stardom.
The album's title track, "Girls, Girls, Girls," celebrates the band's love for motorcycles, strip clubs, and their wild lifestyle at the time, ending up as a top 20 hit in the U.S. Another notable song from the album is "Wild Side," also one of their most anthemic tracks.
"Girls, Girls, Girls" reached number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S., but its creation was marred by a tough period for the band members who were struggling with drug and alcohol addictions during its production. It was revealed later that they were even high on drugs during the album's recording process. Despite all this, the album has been certified quadruple platinum, indicating sales of over 4 million copies in the United States alone.
While reviews at the time of release were mixed, it has since been looked at more favorably. The band members themselves consider it a turning point, where they started becoming more interested in creating solid songs and express rock 'n roll in a traditionally chaotic manner. Despite the controversy and criticism it sparked, "Girls, Girls, Girls" remains one of Mötley Crüe's most popular and influential albums.
