"U16 Girls" is a single from Travis' debut album, Good Feeling. The song is a tongue in cheek warning about the dangers of getting into a relationship with a girl who, despite looking much older, is under 16 years old (the legal age of consent in Travis' native Scotland) hence the name "U16 Girls" meaning Under 16 Girls.

The single's artwork depicts a surfboard which was designed by ex-Stone Roses guitarist John Squire. The surfboard, which is decorated with lyrics from Beach Boys songs, also appears on the cover of the album Good Feeling.
