West End Girls was written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of the British pop duo Pet Shop Boys. The song is a synth-pop song influenced by hip hop music, with lyrics concerned with class and the pressures of inner-city life which were inspired partly by T. S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land. Some assumed the song referred to prostitutes, but according to Tenant it was actually, “about rough East End Boys getting a bit of posh West End GirlsIt was generally well received by contemporary music critics and has been frequently cited as a highlight in the duo’s career.
