A faixa “Woman” foi lançada como o segundo single do álbum Double Fantasy, tornando‑se o primeiro disco de Lennon a ser lançado após sua morte em 8 de dezembro de 1980.
O lado B do single é a canção “Beautiful Boys”, de Yoko Ono, o que destaca a parceria artística entre os dois.
A música começa com a frase “For the other half of the sky”, uma paráfrase de um provérbio chinês usado por Mao Zedong, que Lennon utilizou como homenagem a Ono e a todas as mulheres.
“Woman” foi escrita por John Lennon como uma ode à sua esposa Yoko Ono e às mulheres em geral, refletindo a relação pessoal e o tema central da composição.
