“Woman” served as an ode to John Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono. The song would be featured on the album that Lennon and Ono collaborated on shortly before his unfortunate death on December 8, 1980. This would become the first posthumous single released from the album Double Fantasy.

In an interview with Rolling Stone three days before his death, Lennon stated the song was the “grown-up version” of his song “Girl”. Lennon also dedicated the song to his wife, who in turn, stood for all women for everything that women should be able to do.

Paul McCartney would write one of the most famous Beatle songs after John and his first wife divorced.
