"Come to Me (I Am Woman)" is a 1984 song by ABBA singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad, known professionally as Frida. The song was a single in selected countries from her second English-language solo album Shine .
"Come to Me (I Am Woman)" was written by Eddie Howell and David Dundas [1] and selected by Frida and Steve Lillywhite before the recording sessions for the album had commenced in Studio de la Grand Armée, Paris as a ballad. [2]
"Come to Me (I Am Woman)" was chosen as the follow-up single to "Shine" in late October 1984 in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and South Africa, with "Slowly" as the B-side, a song written by ABBA members, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The German pressing had a shorter mix of 4:24. The song was performed live on several occasions, on the Swedish show Razzel [3] as well as Na Sowas-Extra in Germany. [4] Despite the promotional efforts and the German newspapers recommending the song as a hit, [5] by the time of the release of this single, there was a decrease in Frida's popularity and due to a lack of effective planning and collaboration by Polar with other record companies, [2] the single did not chart in the countries released. The song did however chart in the Polish Airplay charts in early 1985, peaking in 26th place. [6]

English actress Su Pollard released her debut single "Come to Me (I Am Woman)" in September 1985. [1] [7] Prior to her debut single, Pollard had taken up singing lessons at the age of 19, made her debut television appearance in 1973 on Opportunity Knocks, singing a comic song and landed a comedic role on Hi-Di-Hi. [8] [9] In order to pursue her music career further, Pollard in her own words "deliberately chose a serious song because anything else would be laughed off". [10] The single received some positive reception. The Evening Post reviewed the song; "It's good and it's commercial. If there is a criticism it's that her voice could have handled something with more substance to it." [11] "She may not be the next Annie Lennox, or Dusty Springfield but even professional critics will be hard-pressed to laugh off the song as the indulgence of a comedy actress". [11] Additional feedback also includes "I hope it gets to the no.1 spot she simply deserves for spreading sparkle in an otherwise grey-tinted world". [12] The single was promoted on TV shows such as Pebble Mill and peaked in the UK Chart at No.71. [13] The song charted below the top 100 on two other occasions. This song was featured as the closing track of Pollard's 1986 album, Su. In 1987, Pollard reissued the single, [14] which did not chart in the top 100.
