"Woman Like Me" is a song by British girl group Little Mix featuring American rapper Nicki Minaj, released on 12 October 2018 by SYCO Music. The song was announced in a video posted to social media on 30 September, with the group posting a video several days earlier of them singing the song a cappella. Earlier in September, they had posted a clip of them recording a track in the studio.

"Woman Like Me" serves as the lead single from the album. Also, "Strip" was originally planned as the lead single of the album as the girls wanted, but was later scrapped by SYCO Entertainment and Simon Cowell himself, who thought the, already-scrapped track, "Woman Like Me" would be a hit and would "sell more and chart better". The girls refused to record the song and fought for "Strip", but then their label ended postponing the original release date of a (not chosen yet) lead single. After that, and with the LM5 (not confirmed yet) lead single in wait, Simon Cowell decided that an A-List artist, such as Nicki Minaj or Cardi B collaboration version of "Woman Like Me" would be released as the lead single, the girls still refused it, but since they had no choice, they decided that if one of them responded, they would do it. Later, Nicki Minaj accepted and recorded a verse for "Woman Like Me", which the girls ended recording and changing the lyrics of the original demo. "Woman Like Me" was later released as the official lead single of LM5 instead of "Strip" which was released only as a promotional single.

The song was certified Platinum, peaked at #2 on the UK Official Charts and won a BRIT Award for Best Music Video.
