During the 2017 CMA Awards, country music standout Keith Urban walked away with the ‘Single of the Year’ honor for “Blue Ain’t Your Color” and performed his latest song, “Female.” The thought-provoking tune shines light on a variety of issues women still face to this day with an empowering chorus.
Enjoy Keith’s stunning performance below!
“I think it’s just time for a recalibrating of the past, you know? Things have been a certain way for a long, long time, and I think you’re seeing a turning of the tide for that,” Urban shared with the press on the CMA Awards red carpet. “This song just spoke to me. I just wanted to get in and record it right away.”
Interestingly enough, Keith Urban’s multi-talented wife, actress Nicole Kidman, provides some of the backing vocals on the track. “Female” is the first taste of Urban’s next album, which will be his 10th overall studio release.
“Female” Lyrics
When you hear somebody say somebody hits like a girl
How does that hit you?
Is that such a bad thing?
When you hear a song that they play saying you run the world
Do you believe it?
Will you live to see it?
Sister, shoulder
Daughter, lover
Healer, broken halo
Mother nature
Fire, suit of armor
Soul survivor, Holy Water
Secret keeper, fortune teller
Virgin Mary, scarlet letter
Technicolor river wild
Baby girl, women shine
Female
When somebody laughs and implies that she asked for it
Just cause she was wearing a skirt
Now is that how it works?
When somebody talks about how it was Adam first
Does that make you second best?
Or did he save the best for last?
Sister, shoulder
Daughter, lover
Healer, broken halo
Mother nature
Fire, suit of armor
Soul survivor, Holy Water
Secret keeper, fortune teller
Virgin Mary, scarlet letter
Technicolor river wild
Baby girl, women shine
Female
She’s the heart of life
She’s the dreamer’s dream
She’s the hands of time
She’s the queen of kings
Sister, shoulder
Daughter, lover
Healer, broken halo
Mother nature
Fire, suit of armor
Soul survivor, Holy Water
Secret keeper, fortune teller
Virgin Mary, scarlet letter
Technicolor river wild
Baby girl, women shine
Female
