On International Women's Day, Mickey Guyton is celebrating with all her ladies as she releases her new song, “Woman.”

The four-time GRAMMY-nominated country queen is honoring women around the world with an ode to women's empowerment. Written by Guyton with Victor Franco, Oliver Frid, Kameron Glasper, and Tayla Parx, “Woman” is Guyton's first release this year with more music expected in the coming months.

“I loved the idea of writing a song that celebrates the power women have,” says Guyton. “Throughout history and even today, women have taken pain, setbacks, and doubt, and they turn that into inner strength, and they persevere to achieve incredible things. Releasing this on International Women's Day seemed only fitting. We're miracle workers, y'all!”

Guyton set to perform at the Grand Ole Opry tonight. Fans can tune in on the Opry Facebook and YouTube channels or tune in to the Opry's radio home WSM at 7pm CT.
