It has been described as a fusion of Afrobeats, pop, and R&B, with the lyrical theme of divine femininity. After gaining popularity in Europe, where it entered the top 10 in countries like Greece, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Lithuania and Portugal, the song impacted Italian radio airplay as the album's fourth single on October 1, 2021. It was sent to American rhythmic contemporary radio on January 11, 2022. The song was a sleeper success, spending several months on the charts before slowly climbing to the Top 10. For the chart dated May 7, 2022, the song reached number seven on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, nearly a year after it first debuted. CompositionMusic journalists have called the song "an empowering, unabashed ode to womanhood and feminine diversity" which also "explores [the] thoughts, emotions and woes of being a woman". A bright, high-energy Afrobeats song, it has also been described as a fusion of pop, R&B, and reggae. It was co-written by American rapper Jidenna who also provides background vocals to the track. In the lyrics, Doja Cat also details how patriarchy often tries to create competition by putting women against each other, and thus makes a reference to Regina George from 'Mean Girls' (2004). Critics compared her vocal delivery on the track to that of Rihanna (whom she name-drops in the song), and her rap delivery to that of Kendrick Lamar. Critical receptionRosemary Akpan of 'Exclaim!' wrote that "in typical Doja fashion, she's still able to deliver her usual quick-witted bars, complemented by a catchy chorus." Music videoThe song's music video was released on December 3, 2021. It takes inspiration from Michael Jackson's video "Remember the Time." It stars Teyana Taylor alongside actress and model Guetcha. The plot elements and setting of the video take inspiration from the film 'Dune'. In collaboration with Girls Who Code, "Woman" became the first codable music video in which fans will be able to make their own edits in JavaScript, Python or CSS using DojaCode.
