Who did Dierks Bentley say inspired the song "Woman, Amen"?

Dierks Bentley said his wife inspired the song “Woman, Amen.” He wrote it as a personal expression of gratitude for Cassidy Black, whom he married in 2005.

Bentley co-wrote the song with Josh Kear and Ross Copperman. Rather than presenting a complicated story, the lyrics work like a prayer of thanks for a devoted partner. The chorus ends with the memorable phrase “Thank God for this woman, amen,” making the song’s inspiration especially clear.

“Woman, Amen” was released in 2018 as the lead single from Bentley’s ninth studio album, The Mountain. It became a major country-radio success and reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.

A common mix-up is assuming the song was inspired by women in general because Bentley has described it as something many listeners can apply to important women in their lives. However, its original inspiration was specifically his wife, Cassidy.
