"Lady Powers" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter, Vera Blue and is included on Vera Blue's second studio album, Perennial (2017). A remixed version of the song featuring American hip-hop singer Kodie Shane was released on 2 March 2018 as the album's fourth and final single.
Vera Blue said "Lady Powers" is "about not having to use your sexuality to be respected as a woman and to be able to feel comfortable in your own skin without having to change for someone while knowing who you are, your worth and your strength." adding "It's hard sometimes, especially when you feel vulnerable... As women we all have lady powers, but we shouldn't have to use them to feel wanted or respected. We need to respect ourselves. In doing that, we have true lady powers other than just our bodies."[1][2]
Kodie Shane said she was "super excited" to be part of a song, saying "Feminism to me is nothing more and nothing less than the belief in equality for women. I personally feel a responsibility to demonstrate to that we girls have the power to not only gain equality for women but all sectors of society."[1]
The song was promoted with a 'Lady Powers Tour' across Australia in May and June 2018.[3]
"Lady Powers" was certified gold in Australia in 2019.
