About Female

"Female" is a song written by Shane McAnally, Nicolle Galyon, and Ross Copperman and recorded by New Zealand-born Australian country music artist Keith Urban. It was released in November 2017 as the first single from Urban’s 2018 album Graffiti U. Urban debuted the song live on the 51st Annual Country Music Association Awards that same day.

The song, which was written in early October 2017, has been described as "an empowerment anthem partially inspired by the Harvey Weinstein scandal." Urban said of the song that "as a husband and a father of two young girls, it affects me in a lot of ways. And as a son -- my mother is alive. It just speaks to all of the females in my life, particularly. For a guy who grew up with no sisters in a house of boys, it’s incredible how now I’m surrounded by girls. But not only in my house; I employ a huge amount of women in my team. The song just hit me for so many reasons." Urban's wife Nicole Kidman and song co-writer Nicolle Galyon provided background vocals on the track.
