"Woman" is a song recorded by American singer Kesha and featuring The Dap-Kings horns. It is taken from her third studio album, Rainbow, released in 2017. It was released as the first promotional single from the album.
In an essay for Rolling Stone, Kesha wrote:
[…] I realized that for most of my life I was intimidated to even try and run in the leagues of the people I look up to. With "Woman," I hope my fans will hear that wild spirit still strong inside me but this time it was created more raw, spontaneously and with all live instrumentation, which I found was a huge reason I loved the records I did love. There were one or two or 12 different people playing real instruments together, and all that real human energy is exciting and very fun to listen to. I wanted this song to capture that organic, raw, soulful sound and keep the imperfect moments in the recordings because I find the magic in the imperfections.
The music video for the song was released on July 13, 2017. At the beginning of the video a snippet of "Hunt You Down" can be heard. The video features Kesha performing at the Oddity Bar in Delaware. The male members of Kesha's band, The Creepies, and singer Saundra Williams appear in the video as well.
Rolling Stone has called the song "funk-laden", while The Daily Mail refers to it as a "female-empowerment anthem".
"Woman" debuted at number 96 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending 5 August 2017, selling 19,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.
