Little Simz ft Cleo Sol - Woman

“Woman,” the second single from Little Simz’s sophomore album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, is a track in homage to the women that inspire Simz on the daily.

Woven into the showers of compliments and praise are several allusions to largely populated areas of people of colour, including many countries throughout Africa, as well as Jamaica, India, and Brooklyn, New York.

In keeping with Simz’s writing, each line offers a deeper perspective into the ways that women have aided in uplifting certain cultures, industries, and influences. Incorporating political innuendos into her work is nothing new for Simz – in fact, she commented on how natural her writing process is during a March 2019 interview with DJ Magazine:

Everything I do happens on the spot. I was doing this when I was 15/16, so tapping into those subjects and those places and going back to those days was not difficult. Sometimes you’ve just got to put yourself back in that place mentally, and see what happens. As much as I’m a person that is aware of what’s happening in the world, I can still very much be in my own bubble, where I shut off completely from what’s happening, because I’m someone that really takes things on, and it actually effects me. So sometimes, I have to make the decision to remove myself. I know I have a platform and I know I need to touch on things that I believe need to be heard
