God Is A Woman

"God Is a Woman" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande. It was released on July 13, 2018, by Republic Records as the second single from her fourth studio album Sweetener (2018). The song was written by Grande, Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Rickard Göransson and its producer Ilya.

"God Is a Woman" received universal acclaim from music critics. The song debuted at number 11 and later reached a peak of number eight, becoming Grande's tenth top-10 single on the US Billboard Hot 100. It became her fourth single to top the US Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart. The song also attained a top-10 peak within the charts of 17 countries, including number one in Greece, Iceland and Israel, number four in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore and Malaysia, number five in Australia, Canada, Hungary and New Zealand, as well as reaching the top-twenty in Austria, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The single is certified Platinum in six countries in addition to Triple Diamond in Brazil. The song was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.

Background and release

"God Is a Woman" was initially recorded by Camila Cabello (pictured in 2019).

"God Is a Woman" was first teased in a scene in the music video for lead single "No Tears Left to Cry", which displayed what appears to be a working track listing for the upcoming album. Grande confirmed the title on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 1, 2018. On June 27, Grande revealed that the song would become the official second single from her album. She initially announced on Twitter that the song would be released on July 20, however, she later confirmed the release date as July 13. During an interview with SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Camila Cabello commented that "God Is a Woman" was initially written for her, but eventually stating that "it didn't end up sounding right for me." The original version by Cabello, featuring Rita Ora, eventually leaked online in 2023.

Composition and lyrics

"God Is a Woman" is a midtempo song that runs for three minutes and 17 seconds. It was characterized as a pop-hip hop hybrid track that blends "trip hoppy-R&B" and soft rock with influences of reggae over "hypnotic" trap-pop production. Time described the song as "an anthemic, sultry banger", and noted that "Grande's voice is layered so that it sounds like a choir, but really, it's only her, multiplied." The song contains assertive lyrics embracing her femininity and intertwining themes of sexuality and spirituality.

The song is performed in the key of E minor with a tempo of 145 beats per minute in common time. The song follows a chord progression of Em – D/E – Em – D/E – Cmaj7 – D/C –Am7 – Bm7, and Grande's vocals span from E3 to E6.

Critical reception

The song received widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike. Mike Nied of Idolator described it as "a sexually liberated bop", writing: "The beat picks up as [Grande] moves into the chorus. Incorporating a hip-hop edge, her voice gets progressively breathier. Although the single is obviously a sexy banger, it also includes a resilient message. In the face of critics, she defiantly takes a stand." Bryan Rolli of Forbes called it "an impressive show of both virtuosity and restraint" and "one of the best pop songs of the summer—if not the year". He also praised Grande's vocal performance "sprinkling her signature falsetto across the sultry chorus and reining in her vocal acrobatics in the verses. She tries on different flows at her whim, singing slow, seductive come-ons ("I can tell that you know I know how I want it") and riffing on Migos' triplet flow in the pre-choruses. The track is full of chilly, hypnotic trap beats, tasteful drops and electronic squawks, atop which Grande harmonizes with herself to suck listeners into the world she's created for three-and-a-half minutes. [Grande] performs with a maturity that her last two singles lacked, taking a fairly simple formula—heroic female pop vocals plus entrancing trap beats—and turning it into a bite-sized masterpiece. The track probably won't put to bed any controversial theological debates, but it sure made a lot of people believe in something tonight."

Commercial performance

Upon release, "God Is a Woman" began receiving early radio support in the United States. The song drew in 172 spins from 52 Mediabase-monitored pop stations across the country on the final tracking period days. On the issue dated July 28, 2018, "God Is a Woman" debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, selling 43,000 digital downloads during its opening week, allowing it to enter the Digital Songs chart at number four while starting on the Streaming Songs chart at number 11 with 25.1 million US streams.

It later reached number one on the chart, becoming Grande's eleventh top-10 single and fourth to reach the summit of the chart. In March 2019, "God Is a Woman" was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments exceeding two million units in the United States.

Following the release of Sweetener and its performance at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on August 20, 2018, "God Is a Woman" jumped 22 positions on the Hot 100 from number 30 to number 8, becoming Grande's tenth top-ten single there and placing her as the twelfth overall artist and seventh female artist with the most Hot 100 top 10s in the 2010s decade. The song subsequently rose to number 8 on Streaming Songs and climbed to number 39 on Billboard Radio Songs that week. It has since reached number six there, earning Grande her ninth top-10 on the Radio Songs chart and giving her the most top 10s among women since her first, "Problem" in June 2014, surpassing Taylor Swift who has amassed eight since that date. On the Billboard Dance Club Songs, "God Is a Woman" debuted at number 42 on the issue dated August 25, 2018, climbing to number 31 the following week.

Music video

Lyric video

The lyric video for "God Is a Woman" premiered on Grande's YouTube channel alongside the release of the single. The video visualizes a cloud-filled background that transitions to a cosmic scene, ending with a still shot of the singer.

Official music video

The official music video was released later the same day. It was directed by Dave Meyers and features a monologue by Madonna. The video pays homage to The Creation of Adam, Romulus and Remus, astronomy, female genitalia, and other visual imagery similar to that of "No Tears Left to Cry", also directed by Meyers, as well as Greek mythology. Alexa Meade painted Grande for the music video.

Synopsis

Grande in the music video, floating in a vulva-resembling pool of paint. This scene was painted by Alexa Meade and inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's 1923 painting Grey Lines with Blue, Black, and Yellow.

The music video begins with Grande at the center of a galaxy while she is standing on top of Earth. The next scene shows Grande painted and floating in a pool filled with a mixture of paint that intentionally resembles a human vulva, followed by her lying on a stage on top of a bed surrounded by men in briefs covered by foam in another scene with vaginal imagery. After this, Grande is shown sitting on top of a large book while a group of men throw physical "insults" at her. Then, after several scenes of her dancing in a blurry motion, she appears in a large crowd of women, with only her face towards the camera, and immediately after, then appears wearing a corset similar to Madonna's conical one from her Blond Ambition World Tour while a three-headed dog barks behind her.

The next scene then displays Grande dancing inside the flame of a candle, followed by her sitting on top of the Earth "fingering" a hurricane. The music then stops for the next scene, where a group of rodents come out of their mounds in an arid landscape, prior to one of them screaming, whom according to Grande, represent "the frustration of being a woman and feeling misunderstood." Grande then walks away from a crowd, and is seen to subsequently have a pregnant body. After re-enacting the Capitoline Wolf, several scenes repeat in the midst of her being seen in a floating triangle.

In the next scene, the music stops again and Grande lip-syncs to a voiceover appearance by Madonna, who recites a version of Ezekiel 25:17 (as in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction) while Grande stands inside a replica of the Roman Pantheon, before using a hammer to break the glass ceiling of the building, exposing the legs of a large woman and a light engulfing the area between the two. Several of the final scenes include Grande holding balloons in the shape of various planets while walking a tightrope, her standing in the middle of a worshiping crowd, and her appearing on top of a lighthouse's deck. In the final scene, she imitates The Creation of Adam.

Critical reception

The music video for "God Is a Woman" was generally well received by critics. Slate's Christina Cauterucci found the video's visuals to be "clever" and "nuanced," while Jasmine Ting of Cosmopolitan found it to be "the most symbolically rich, and significant, set of visuals [Grande had] put out." The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber additionally opined that the video had "a comedy to [its] conceptual overload and shabby-chic CGI effects, but what exactly the punchline is isn’t clear," whilst Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine added it to the magazine's 'The 20 Best Music Videos of 2018' list, while referring to it as "digital eye candy."

As of May 2024, the video has been viewed over 400 million times on YouTube. The music video was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.

Live performances

Grande performed "God Is a Woman" for the first time on August 20, 2018, at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The performance was themed around the Last Supper and Grande was accompanied onstage with over 50 female dancers. Grande was joined by her mother Joan, grandmother Marjorie and cousin Lani towards the end of the performance and after Grande finished singing, the four of them bowed together before exiting the stage. She also performed an acoustic version of the song the same week on Good Morning America.

"God Is a Woman" was included on the set list for The Sweetener Sessions, a promotional tour in support of her Sweetener album. The song is also included as the set opener of her Sweetener World Tour (2019) with a performance similar to her VMAs performance.
