"Girl Next Door" is a song by American pop rock band Saving Jane, released as the first single from the band's second studio album of the same name (2005) on August 15, 2005. The song was a top-40 success on several US Billboard charts, peaking at number 31 on the Hot 100.

Content[]

It describes an unpopular high school student jealous of another student's success as a cheerleader and beauty queen.

A version of this song was recorded in Simlish and was featured in The Sims 2: Pets expansion pack. Country singer Julie Roberts also recorded a version for her second studio album, 2006's Men & Mascara, although her version did not chart.

Music video[]

The music video was released in March 2006. It stars two girls, one jealous of the other. When the second chorus kicks in, the girl uses her powers to hit the jealous one. They both appear in separate scenes, thanks to a pink double-screen. The lead singer is performing in a classroom, and with her band at a concert. The video ends with the girls in 2 limos. The jealous one somehow cuts into the other girl's screen, and steals a tiara from her. She tries to get it back, but bangs her head on the side of her screen instead.
