"Not Such an Innocent Girl" is the debut solo single by English singer Victoria Beckham. It was released on 17 September 2001 as the lead single from her self-titled debut solo album. It was the United Kingdom's 163rd-best-seller of the year, peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart. The song was originally recorded by American singer Willa Ford. However, her version was only performed live and never officially released.

Chart performance

In the United Kingdom, the single faced competition in a hugely hyped supposed 'chart battle' with Kylie Minogue's single "Can't Get You Out of My Head".^[2] On the chart date of 29 September 2001, "Not Such an Innocent Girl" debuted at number six on the UK Singles Chart with first week sales of 35,000 units, while "Can't Get You Out of My Head" debuted at number one with first week sales of 306,000 units.^[3]^[4] It became the UK's 163rd-best-seller of 2001.^[5] As of September 2021, "Not Such An Innocent Girl" has sold 93,000 copies in the UK.^[6]

Music video

The music video has a futuristic theme and features two Victorias: one dressed in all-white with blonde hair ("the good girl"), and the other in all-black with jet black hair ("the bad girl"). The video culminates into a "dance-off" and motorcycle race between the two Victorias. The video was shot almost entirely on a green set with a significant amount of post-production.^{[citation needed]}
