- "I'm a Big Girl Now" is a novelty song written by Al Hoffman, Milton Drake, and Jerry Livingston. It was recorded in 1946 by American bandleader Sammy Kaye with vocals by singer Betty Barclay. Released as a single by RCA Victor, Kaye's recording was a commercial success in the United States, topping The Billboard's Best-Selling Popular Retail Records chart in the issue dated April 27, 1946. It also peaked within the top ten of the magazine's Records Most-Played on the Air, Most-Played Juke Box Records, and Honor Roll of Hits charts. According to Drake, "I'm a Big Girl Now" was written at the request of Kaye, who had recently recruited Barclay to sing with his band and desired a "special" song for her to perform at an upcoming event. Its lyrics are addressed to the singer's boyfriend, informing him that she wishes to not be treated as a child. (en)
