“Woman Like Me” is the lead single from Little Mix’s fifth studio album. The song was released on Friday, October 12, 2018, and features guest vocals from Trinidadian-born American rapper, Nicki Minaj.

The Steve Mac-produced track serves as the group’s first single since June 2018’s “Only You” with American EDM trio, Cheat Codes, as it reached the Top 20 of the Official UK Singles Chart. It also marks the group’s return to music after a hiatus since the end of their worldwide tour in November 2017, where they were in the process of making the new album since Spring the same year.

On September 27, the British radio station Capital FM posted on their website an article about the collaboration between the members and Minaj, and a few days later the group was spotted filming the music video. Three days later the group broke the silence by posting an official teaser on social media and unveiled the cover artwork. It breaks off from the casual, colorful aesthetics of the lead singles filled with a pure pop sound, as “Wings” from DNA, “Move” from Salute, “Black Magic” from Get Weird, and “Shout Out to My Ex” from Glory Days.

On October 21, 2018, one week after the song’s release, the band performed “Woman Like Me” for the first time at BBC Radio 1’s Teen Awards as the part of their set.
