“Kind of Girl” is MUNA’s third single from their 2022 self-titled album in which they embrace their ability to change bad patterns and delves into the power of language and the choice of words in shaping our self-identity and aspirations. In an interview for Stereogum Katie Gavin stated about the following on the track:

Even though it is a happy, hopeful song, I shed the most tears [on] the record in the vocal booth recording this chorus. I think there’s something very vulnerable about plainly expressing my desire to be kinder to myself and comfortable receiving love (and my desire to garden even though I kill everything I plant).

In another interview for Altpress Naomi McPherson stated:

It’s a song about allowing yourself to feel fluid in who you are as a person. Even though it’s a very gendered song, to me as someone who is nonbinary, that is so deeply relatable. It’s about allowing yourself and your story to be fluid and [knowing] that you can change.

A music video for the track was released with the song on April 28, 2022, depicting the band in full cowboy-themed drag expressing their ability to be gender fluid.
