"Free Woman" is a song by American singer and songwriter Lady Gaga recorded for her sixth studio album Chromatica (2020). Gaga co-wrote it with the song's producers BloodPop, Axwell and Johannes Klahr. "Free Woman" was released as the album's fifth track, several weeks after a high-quality demo version of the song was leaked onto the Internet. It is a Eurohouse and Eurodance song that draws influences from the music of the 1990s. Gaga was inspired by her real life events; the song talks about her coping with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), from which she suffered after being sexually assaulted by a music producer. Gaga also wanted to celebrate her LGBT+ fans; she wrote the song especially with the trans community in mind. The song's lyrics talk about reclaiming one's identity and answer the question "what does it mean to be a free woman?".
Many music critics highlighted the song for its strong, empowering lyrics while some deemed its production generic. On April 13, 2021, "Free Woman" was released to radio in France as the fourth single from Chromatica. Honey Dijon and Clarence Clarity produced remix edits of the song; Clarity's version includes additional vocals by British singer Rina Sawayama and is included on Gaga's remix album Dawn of Chromatica (2021). "Free Woman" was part of the setlist of Gaga's 2022 stadium tour The Chromatica Ball, and was also included in Apple's GarageBand app and her commercial for Dom Pérignon champagne.
