[Intro]
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
[Verse 1]
Sexy, confident
So intelligent
She is heaven-sent
So soft, so strong
[Pre-chorus]
She’s a winner, champion
Superhuman, number one
She's a sister, she's mother
Open your eyes, just look around and you'll discover
You know
[Chorus]
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
You better celebrate
'Cause, baby, we ain't going away
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Fire in her eyes
Feminine divine
She was born to shine
To shine, to shine
[Pre-Chorus]
She's a flower, she's a thorn
Superhuman, number one
She's a sister, she's mother
Open your eyes, just look around and you'll discover
You know
[Chorus]
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
You better celebrate
'Cause, baby, we ain't going away
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
[Outro]
Lucky to be living in it
Lucky to be living in it
That's right
It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Meaning of Katy Perry's 'Woman's World'
According to the music portal Genius, ‘Woman’s World’ has the objective of becoming a anthem to empower women and celebrate their existence, in addition to visualizing the growing prominence of the female gender in society and its influence in the modern world.
“Under this roof, I can safely say it’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to be living in it,” Perry said during a speech at the Women In Music from Billboard.
Controversy with Dr. Luke
Although the song has generated great expectations among Katy Perry fans, ‘Woman’s World’ has been involved in controversy due to one particular person behind its production: Dr. Luke, who in the past has been accused of sexual assault by Kesha.
According to the ‘Tiktok’ singer, she suffered physical, sexual and emotional abuse during her working relationship with the producer. Dr. Luke, whose full name is Łukasz Sebastian Gottwald, denied the accusations and countersued Kesha for defamation. The two had been locked in a bitter legal battle until they reached a settlement in June 2023, just a month before the case was due to go to trial.
She has received blowback from fans on social media and even in person for the apparent hypocrisy of ‘Woman’s World’ being a song about female empowerment but that it was produced by someone who has been accused of sexual assault.
