"Single White Female" is a song by American country music artist Chely Wright. The song was written by Canadian country singer-songwriter Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Shaye Smith and produced by Tony Brown, Buddy Cannon, and Norro Wilson; fellow country artist and label mate Trisha Yearwood sings harmony vocals on the song. "Single White Female" was released on March 22, 1999 as the lead single and title track to Wright's fourth studio album Single White Female (1999) by MCA Nashville.

The song was a hit on the Hot Country Songs chart where it spent one week at number one, notably ending the record-breaking eight-week reign of country group Lonestar's single "Amazed".[2] It was also a success in Canada, topping the RPM Canadian Country Tracks and becoming the third most successful country song of 1999 in the country.[3]
