Songfacts®:

  • R&B/Pop singer Jordin Sparks' first single from her third studio album is an empowering female anthem. She explained to AOL Music: "'I Am Woman' is a song about different aspects of the lives of women. It could be a mother, a performer, a woman working in a corporate space - it's all about what we go through as women and how our lives are so crazy. Walk a mile in my shoes, or in my stilettos, if you dare and see what happens. It's all about the strengths that a woman has: how we can multitask and carry so much, yet still always be on point when we need to be and on cue when we need to be. It's all about the amazingness of a woman."
  • Sparks co-wrote the song with Ryan Tedder. The OneRepublic singer and songwriter-for-hire previously produced and co-wrote the American Idol champ's hit single, "Battlefield."
