“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” is a song written in 1979 by Robert Hazard and made famous in 1983 by the American singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper, who changed some of the lyrics. It was released by Portrait Records as Lauper’s debut single from her first solo album, She’s So Unusual (1983), which was released four days earlier. Lauper’s version gained recognition as a feminist anthem and was promoted by an MTV Video Music Award–winning music video directed by Edd Griles. It has been covered by more than 30 other artists. The single was Lauper’s breakthrough hit, reaching No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming a worldwide hit throughout late 1983 and early 1984. It is considered one of Lauper’s signature songs and was a popular song during the 1980s.

She’s So Unusual is the debut solo studio album by American pop singer Cyndi Lauper, released on October 13, 1983, by Portrait Records. It stands out for its commercial success, achieving four top-five singles—a pioneering achievement for a female artist’s first album. The album was re-released in 2014 to commemorate its 30th anniversary and was called She’s So Unusual: A 30th Anniversary Celebration. The re-release contains demos and remixes of previously released material, as well as new artwork.
