The song marks Nao's first single in two years.
Nao and Lianne La Havas have released a new collaborative single, called 'Woman'. The song comes two years after Nao's most recent record, Saturn.
"This is my anthem to empowerment. I want to send a message - to all women but especially to women of colour - that we can be in control, we can be leaders, we can have confidence in our minds and bodies. There's a lot of darkness in the world but also great things happening in response, many led by women and girls. For the first time in history there's a global movement for equality, fairness and systematic change that seems to be delivering real results, both personally and politically. Me and Lianne really wanted to sing about that, support it and celebrate it."
“This is a song Lianne and I are so happy to put out into the world,” Nao wrote on Instagram. “I truly believe this is the start of a new dawn where being a woman—esp a woman of colour—can and should be celebrated. This is our time! We all deserve to be celebrated.”
