Emmy Meli “I AM WOMAN" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

California-born singer-songwriter Emmy Meli was trying to cope with juggling two jobs and a budding music career when she wrote her breakout hit, “I AM WOMAN.” “I started saying these mantras to myself every morning,” Meli tells Genius. “And then I was in rehearsal one day with my band, and a couple of my guitar players were playing this really sick groove. I started singing these mantras to what they were playing.”
Meli finished the song’s hook that night and uploaded it to TikTok, where it’s since amassed nearly 34 million views and spawned an empowering video trend in which people compile photos of themselves to match each adjective sung in the lyrics. “Seeing the videos that people posted inspired me because I still have insecurities,” Meli says. “It was really awesome to see something that was born from my hardships.”

Why isn't anyone giving credit to the original song "I am Woman" by Helen Reddy from 1971?

[@ttadavis1443]

This isn't a copy of the late Helen Reddy's song. The only thing they have in common is the title.

Wasn’t sure if I’d smash the like button till she lost me at “I’m masculine”

[@TheSunkissedmein2000]

Lol.

[@caylaharasimo6941]

She’s not saying “I am masculine” as being a man she’s saying She has feminine & masculine”, as having both qualities, you can have feminine traits & masculine traits. Everybody has feminine and masculine qualities about them or the stereotypes of the two. For example being kind and caring is often seen as a feminine qualities, while being aggressive and rough around the edges is seen as masculine qualities.

[@vega9912]

Nah, music is dead in todays world. Everything is unoriginal nowadays. That’s why I listen to music from 80s, 90s, the golden era. Internet ruined music

[@kevinatwater6573]

No, all the music is great. Smoke rings in a dark room, broke heart on a bar stool! Ashtray full of burnt out ciga-regrets! Sad sound on a jukebox, strong stuff on a few rocks! Head full of all the things that you should've said! *beautiful country music from 2022*
