The lyrics to the song “Your Woman” by White Town is a commentary on the objectification and idealization of women in popular culture. The song’s narrator expresses his frustration with the way that women are often portrayed as unattainable objects of desire, rather than as complex individuals with their own thoughts and feelings. The lyrics also critique the way that women are often expected to conform to unrealistic beauty standards, and the way that they are often judged and criticized for their appearance.
The song was released in 1997 and became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in several countries. It was praised for its catchy melody and its clever lyrics, which many people interpreted as a feminist anthem. The song has been covered by many other artists, including Nouvelle Vague and Badly Drawn Boy.
