Cher's illustrious career, spanning over six decades, is punctuated with hits that have not only ruled the charts but also defined eras and influenced popular culture. Her 2013 release, "Woman's World," is one such song that stands out in her expansive discography. The lead single from her twenty-fifth studio album, "Closer to the Truth," "Woman's World" has proven its longevity with its powerful message and dance-pop musicality.
Written by Matt Morris, Anthony Crawford, and Paul Oakenfold, and produced by Oakenfold and JD Walker, "Woman's World" is a high-energy dance anthem dedicated to women everywhere. The song sends a clear message of female empowerment and resilience, celebrating the strength of women in overcoming adversity and triumphing in a world often fraught with challenges. Cher has always been a vocal advocate for women's rights, and with "Woman's World," she underscores this advocacy through her music.
Musically, "Woman's World" features pulsating beats and sweeping synths characteristic of contemporary dance music. Yet, at its core, it is undeniably a Cher song with her rich contralto vocals delivering the song's empowering message with conviction and tenacity. The song showcases Cher's ability to embrace and adapt to contemporary musical styles while staying true to her artistic identity.

"Woman's World" may not have achieved the commercial success of some of Cher's past hits like "Believe" or "If I Could Turn Back Time," but its influence and relevance go beyond chart positions. It resonates with many for its powerful message and has become an anthem for women's rights events and gatherings.
Of course, "Woman's World" is not the only song in Cher's repertoire that has left an indelible mark. Her catalog is filled with timeless hits that continue to resonate with audiences of all ages. From her earlier works like "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" and "Half-Breed" to her disco foray with "Take Me Home," and from her rock anthems like "I Found Someone" to her pop masterpieces like "Believe" and "Strong Enough," Cher's musical journey is as varied as it is long.
In her career's later phase, Cher ventured into new genres and music styles, as showcased by her album "Dancing Queen," a tribute to ABBA, which further underlined her versatility as an artist.
