"Woman" lyrics

"Woman"

I can feel your eyes in my direction
As though you got your claws upon my skin
Tell me how you deserve my affection
Just because you're in the place I'm in

I'm tired
Feeling so helpless
I'm over walking a line
I'm sick of tripping on wires
Just to stay alive

If freedom is a gift
Sing out
I wanna see the walls
Come down
If everybody breathes
Then I know
That I'm a person
I'm human
I'm a woman

It's all the little things in life that make me
It's all the ways I've changed throughout the years
It's not about the faults, the flaws, the failures
We were made to tear apart

But I'm tired
I'm feeling so helpless
I'm over walking a line
I'm sick of tripping on wires
Just to stay alive

If freedom is a gift
Sing out
I wanna see the walls
Come down
If everybody breathes
Then I know
That I'm a person
I'm human
I'm a woman

Louisa Rose Allen, aka Foxes, told about "Woman", "There's a lot of injustices in the world right now and I hope this single can be interpreted by any woman, in any situation, facing injustice, facing any situation that they know is wrong, and helps them to stand up and say no to what isn't right." This single was partly inspired by her grandmother, Kathleen.
The animated music video for this song was released on the 29th of July 2020. Foxes said about it, "Big love to Gemma Green-Hope for bringing this to life with your beautiful animation."
