Background and release

After a nearly ten-year break, Cher resumed her recording career when she starred in the 2010 musical film Burlesque . Cher recorded two tracks, "Welcome to Burlesque" and "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me", for the film's soundtrack album which was issued in November 2010. The soundtrack was met with positive reviews, with critics praising her return to music. In early 2011, Cher began work on her twenty-fifth studio album.

While Cher was still in the process of finishing the album, snippets of "Woman's World" surfaced online in late October 2012, and when a DJ played a demo of the song at a Michigan club, Cher revealed on her Twitter page that she was upset about the leak. [2] Once a full-length, unfinished version of the song began to spread online, Warner Bros. and Cher decided to give the single an early release. Cher explained, "We thought we had time, but ('Woman's World') started popping all over the world!" [3]

On November 22, 2012, "Woman's World" was streamed on Cher's official website as a Thanksgiving treat for her fans. [2] The song was not commercially released and was only available to stream on media sites such as YouTube and SoundCloud. [3] [4] [5] After angrily tweeting a fan about her forthcoming album's delay, Cher admitted that the single's release was pushed back to June 2013, with the album following in September. [6] On June 10, Cher revealed on her Facebook page that the official date of the single's release is June 18, with the premiere at the season finale of the talent show The Voice . [7] Shortly after, a lyric video was posted on Cher's YouTube channel and the single appeared for purchase and streaming on iTunes, Amazon.com and Spotify.

On August 30, 2013 "Woman's World" was released in France and Australia and on September 2, 2013 in most other European countries.

Composition

"Woman's World" is an uptempo, "thumping" [8] "empowerment jam" [9] which falls under the dance-pop, [10] EDM, [11] [12] [13] [14] electropop, [15] and electro [16] genres. The song lyrically and sonically matches her previous hits, "Believe" and "Strong Enough". [17] Bass drums serve as the song's prologue, preparing a trance-like atmosphere, where Cher sings in a soft, low tone of voice: [17] "I'm dancin' solo, in the dark on the club floor/ I need to let it go, shake it off, stop thinkin' 'bout you'," [17] before emerging with a powerful vocal delivery with the words: "Torn up, busted, taken apart/ I've been broken down, left with a broken heart/ But I'm stronger, strong enough to rise above." [17] In the refrain, Cher belts "tell the truth / this is a woman's world" in her contralto. [17] [18] The lyrics revolve around the theme of overcoming a broken relationship by surrendering to a discothèque environment. [17] Toward the middle of the song, Cher addresses the listeners directly with: "All the women in the world, stand up, come together now/ This is a woman's world/ Everybody in the club, stand up, come together now" before returning to the hook and 808 drums. [17] Cher's vocals span over one and a half octaves, from a low note of F3 to the high note of D5.[ citation needed ]

Promotion and performances

To promote the single and the accompanying album, Cher performed "Woman's World" on the season finale for the American vocal competition, The Voice on June 18, 2013. [19] Gearing for the performance, the singer used the hashtag trending topic #CherLiveStream on microblogging website, Twitter, to advertise a behind-the-scenes Q & A between herself and fans. [19] [20] Following the chat, "Woman's World" was digitally released in Canada and the United States on the iTunes and Amazon platforms. [19] [20] The single was available for immediate download, along with a pre-order of Closer to the Truth. The first 500 purchasers would receive their copy of the album with Cher's signature on it. The single appeared on Spotify and three remixes as well as an official lyrics video were uploaded to Cher's YouTube channel. [21] The remixes were executed by Tracy Young, Danny Verde, and R3hab. [21] Cher announced August 19, 2013 through her Twitter account that the "Woman's World"'s music video would premiere on August 20, 2013. Filming for it began as early as January 2013, when the track initially leaked. As a service to fans, the Cher Charitable Foundation opened an eBay auction, selling walk-on roles for the music video. Proceeds were donated to GlobalGiving. The winning bid grossed $5,700 in American currency. [22]

On June 30, 2013, Cher performed "Woman's World" along with her hit singles "Strong Enough" and "Believe" as the headline act of NYC Pride's annual Dance on the Pier, after having visited several New York City radio stations and night clubs as well as Andy Cohen's late night talk show Watch What Happens Live since June 27. [23] [24] She also performed the song at the 35th annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks, which was broadcast live on NBC. [25] Furthermore, she sang "Woman's World", "I Hope You Find It" and "Believe" during her Today Show concert on September 23, 2013 in order to promote the album.

It is also the opening song of her 2014 Dressed to Kill Tour , 2017-2020 Las Vegas residency, Classic Cher, and 2018–2020 Here We Go Again Tour sung standing atop a pillar midair wearing a feather headpiece. For Classic Cher & Here We Go Again Tour, the shorter version of the song is used.

Music video

The official music video for "Woman's World", directed by Ray Kay, debuted on August 21 on Cher's official YouTube channel. [26] The video features Cher in several outfits, wearing wild and flamboyant wigs, one of the wigs made of newspaper cuttings. Cher is joined by a variety of women of different races, ages and appearances in the female empowerment track. The video uses split screens appear to give Cher different people's bodies and outfits. The videoclip was inspired by The Ones' "Face and Body". [27]

Critical reception

"Woman's World" has received generally positive reviews by most music journalists. Young Tan of So So Gay gave the single 5 stars out of 5, saying it was reminiscent of her biggest hits such as "Believe" and "Strong Enough" and that her "vocals are still in fine form," as well as adding that Cher's gay male fans would enjoy the track the most. [17] Robbie Daw from Idolator giving it 4 out of 5 and said that the song was "full of striking synths and a relentlessly slamming beat." [28] Malene Arpe from The Toronto Star considered the song "kinda great," "kinda awesome and kick-ass and pure Cher." [29] Gregory Ellwood of HitFix called it "a catchy track that will certainly make her fans happy and could get some gay club play." [30] He gave the song a B+ and stated that he was "just thrilled she can still belt it out like the youngsters out there." [30] Keith Cauldfield from Billboard called it a "thumping dance single." [31]

However, Michael Cragg from The Guardian gave it a more mixed review, stating "Woman's World aims squarely for the EDM jugular but manages to sound horrendously dated, which might not be all that surprising given it was produced by Paul Oakenfold." He compared it to the "cheap" and "cheerless" songs on Alexandra Burke's album Heartbreak on Hold but stated that Cher's vocals were "engaged." [32] Sarah Dean from The Huffington Post labelled it a "dancefloor anthem" and said her "instantly recognisable voice is loud and clear, but does the electro music do enough to bring her sound into this decade?" Dean compared the song's feminist theme to Beyoncé's "Run the World (Girls)." [33]

Popular music journalist Mike Wass praised the cover art for Cher's dance single, saying, "Cher raises the bar for elegance and glamour with an exquisite image, photoshopped to the brink of animation. The pop legend wears an understated — by her standards — headdress and coyly looks at the camera like the 18-year-old ingenue she still is at heart." [34]
