Background

"The Woman I Am" is an ode to feminine divinity. [2] In a statement about the track, Aurora described it as an exploration of the challenges women face in a male-dominated world, emphasizing self-worth beyond physical appearance, intellect, and achievements. She expressed hope that recognizing this worth could lead to greater harmony and equality. [3]

Beyond her music, Aurora has been actively engaged in discussions on climate change. She was announced as a guest on Fay Milton's Sounds Like A Planm podcast, where she would discuss how the music industry is addressing the climate crisis. Additionally, she was scheduled to participate in a conversation with Brian Eno in London on April 29, focusing on how music can be harnessed for environmental benefit. [3]

Release and promotion

The single follows the release of Aurora's fourth studio album, The Gods We Can Touch , in January, which received positive reviews. [3]

After its release, Aurora performed the song at the 2022 Gullruten Awards. [4]
