Girls on top

"Half of the world has been made by woman"

This is who I am

"Because I'm surprisingly independent"

Nega Dola

"You’re just too typical
If I’m being honest, I just don’t like you
What, did you expect me to say something else?"

"No more chances for you, no
I don’t wanna deal with you, stop right there"

"Do you want a piece of candy or something?
You’re not even a man"

ID; Peace B

"You may think I'm young
I know you think you know what's better
You always think you know, times have changed that was long ago
Now it's time for me to do what's best for me
I know that I will fly high"

Soundscape

"I dreamed of the heroine from a fairy tale
She said "Someday, someone will save me"
But surely if you just wait around
You won't be able to find Wonderland"

"To live, to love, to go somewhere
To get hurt
To live, to love, to meet someone
We have to prepare for it"

Woman

"When they were forcing femininity
When I didn’t even know what it was to be a woman
Now I know, what I really need
I have the best inner beauty
Feels good to be a woman"

The lyrics of the Woman were written by BoA, who also had a hand in composing and/or writing lyrics for five other tracks of the album.

When asked why she chose to title both her album and title track “Woman,” BoA explained:
