The album's standout hits include "Miss You," which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the band's biggest disco-influenced tracks, as well as "Beast of Burden" and "Shattered." The title track "Some Girls" also generated significant attention for its provocative lyrics.

The band was responding to the late-1970s musical landscape where disco dominated the charts and punk rock was threatening the relevance of established rock acts.

Yes, Ronnie Wood had officially replaced Mick Taylor as the band's guitarist in 1975, but "Some Girls" (1978) was the first studio album where he appeared as a full band member throughout. Wood's arrival coincided with a revitalized sound that critics and fans widely regard as the band's strongest work since their early-1970s peak.
