Tiffany Haddish’s upcoming single “Woman Up,” written by Grammy-winning songwriter Diane Warren, is set to debut on Friday, June 7, kicking off Black Music Month with a bang.
“Woman Up,” Tiffany Haddish’s new single written by Diane Warren, embodies female empowerment and resilience, echoing the themes of her 2024 book “I Curse You With Joy.”
In the book, Haddish shares her experiences of overcoming childhood trauma, detailing the entertainment industry as a Black woman, and reconnecting with her estranged father.
“I hate to see you this way/ Lying in your bed, covers over your head, thinking that it’s over,” Haddish sings on the upbeat anthem. “But it’s not, just stop/ And woman up.” (Listen to a snippet below.)
In addition to the song, Haddish is also releasing a music video, with Warren herself making a cameo.
“I am beyond excited to share this incredible song ‘Woman Up’ with the world,” the Girls Trip star shared in a statement with Billboard. “Collaborating with legendary songwriter Diane Warren has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember.
The essence of this song accurately describes how I get myself motivated on a daily basis and pick myself up when I need it most.”
Warren added:
“It was great to work with Tiffany on ‘Woman Up.’ It’s a song about being knocked down and picking yourself back up. Tiffany makes you believe every word, that nothing can hold you back or keep you down.”
Tiffany Haddish won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album in 2021 for “Tiffany Haddish: Black Mitzvah,” becoming the sixth woman and the second Black woman, after Whoopi Goldberg in 1986, to win in this category.
Diane Warren’s impressive career includes writing nine songs that have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, such as Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me” and Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”
She has won one Grammy out of 15 nominations and has received 15 nods in the Best Original Song category at the Academy Awards.
