Who released the country song "Female"?

Keith Urban released the country song “Female.” The song was issued on November 8, 2017, as the first single from Urban’s 2018 studio album “Graffiti U.” It was written by Shane McAnally, Nicolle Galyon, and Ross Copperman, with Urban also serving as a producer.

“Female” emerged during the 2017 wave of public discussion about sexual harassment and gender inequality, including the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Its lyrics present a series of statements affirming women’s identities and experiences, making the track an empowerment-oriented departure from a conventional romantic country single.

Urban debuted the song at the 51st Annual Country Music Association Awards on the same day it was released. The recording later appeared on “Graffiti U,” an album whose title combines graffiti’s visual freedom with the letter “U.” “Female” reached No. 12 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and became notable as one of Urban’s more explicitly topical songs. Urban is an Australian-born artist who became a major figure in American country music through guitar-led performances and crossover hits.
