“I Am Woman” is the first promotional single from American recording artist Jordin Sparks‘ upcoming third studio album. The up-tempo song was written by Ali Pierre Gaschani, Dean Josiah and Ryan Tedder, who also produced the track.
The song’s lyrics contain a message towards female empowerment, which talks about different aspects of the lives of women.
“I Am Woman” received a positive reception from most music critics, who complimented its differences with any of Sparks’ previous singles, as well as noting its similarities to the sounds of American R&B singer Beyoncé. “I Am Woman” premiered online via AOL Music on May 5, 2011, and was later officially released in the United States on May 10, 2011.
In May 2011, Sparks said in an interview with AOL Music that she was still on the look out for an “amazing director” to shoot the video. She also added that she would also be focussing on the choreography for the song.
On May 12, 2011, Sparks performed “I Am Woman” on the American Idol top 4 results show.
Lyrics for Jordin Sparks – I Am Woman
[Hook:]
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we canSaid I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like (like we can)[Verse 1:]
It ain’t easy walkin’ in stilettos
But somebody gotta do it
Spend a day in my shoes
Then, see what the hell I go through
It’s so rigorous
Doing what I do
Always on point
Always on cue
Life’s so hectic
Call it a zoo
Think you understand
If you only knew[Hook:]
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we canSaid I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like (like we can)[Verse 2:]
I need – fashion, elegance
Is a passion
I built this body to relax in
Try to break me down
I’mma get the last laugh in
Don’t need to talk
I speak with actions
I perfected the laws of attractionI’m the whole package plus satisfaction
Let it take yourself
‘For you get what you’re askingDon’t get it twisted
Give your boy a caution
Respect is all that I’m asking
Women plus life, equals alright
The woman no life
I’d like to see ya try[Hook:]
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we canSaid I am (I am) woman (woman)
I am (I am) woman (woman)
I’m a woman
I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it quite like (like we can)[Bridge:]
Say yeaahhh, yeaahh
Say yeaahhh, yeaahh
Say yea, yeaI’m a woman, I’m a woman
I am woman
I am womanI’m a woman, I’m a woman
Yes I am
Ain’t nobody else can do it like we can[Hook:]
