For My Sunday Song #460, we are going to talk a little about the brand new song ‘Like A Woman Can” by Halestorm off their 2025 album ‘Everest’. The song is the fourth single and came out the same day as the album, August 8, 2025. The song is one of their boldest tracks yet. The album hasn’t done that well which is highly disappointing as it is pretty awesome. Halestorm is one of the best modern rock bands out there today. It has only gone to #156 on the Billboard 200 Album chart.
The song is credited to basically the whole band including Lzzy Hale, Arejay Hale, Joe Hottinger, Josh Smith and Dave Cobb along with a few outside writers, Ryan Daly and Nolan Sipe. The song is a pretty daring topic for the band as it is about bi-sexual exploration. I love how Lzzy describes it…‘Like A Woman Can’ is Venus asking Mars to meet her in the middle while in the midst of a bisexual awakening”. She is basically asking the man why he can’t touch her and love her like a woman can. A woman knows what she needs, but the guy can’t do the same thing with his hands. I think that is pretty funny personally, let your fingers do the talking!! At least she knows what she wants.
Musically, the song is a bluesy, sultry and sexy song. Lzzy is so passionate about her desire and need. She is giving it her all vocally. The song is a slower tempo, yet hard and heavy. Very dramatic and ultra sexy. The keyboards are a central part of that emotion as it cranks up the tension. The guitar solo is feels like the climax part of the song and then Lzzy explodes with the final choruses and by the end, you hope and pray the man figures things out or his ass is on the street all by hisself.
Give the song a listen and let me know what you think. A little too much? Is she wrong asking for the guy to figure his stuff out? Like I said, I find the subject matter has a lot of humor, but the song takes itself very seriously and really makes a killer track. This band rarely, if ever, disappoints…too bad this man she is speaking about does.
“Like A Woman Can”
Do you lose sleep like I do?
Barely eat like I do?
Do you wait for my calls? Do I matter at all to you?
Are you soft to the touch?
Do you only play rough?
Do you know how to whisper and speak with your fingers? Ooh
Oh, it’s not hard to please me
Baby, this should be easy
I’m just a woman, and you’re just a man
We both have two hands, why can’t yours understand how to touch me?
I woulda stayed, but you can’t
Love me the way that a woman can
Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you love me
Oh, why can’t you love me
Like a woman can?
All of my roses are pink
And your violets are blue
Thinking maybe we made a mistake mixing the two
Now I’m driving away
And you got nothing to say
I want someone who cries, who feels every goodbye like I do, can you?
Oh, it’s not hard to please me
Baby, this should be easy
I’m just a woman, and you’re just a man
We both have two hands, why can’t yours understand how to touch me?
I woulda stayed, but you can’t
Love me the way that a woman can
Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you love me
Oh, why can’t you love me
Like a woman can?
I’m just a woman, and you’re just a man
We both have two hands, why can’t yours understand how to touch me?
I woulda stayed, but you can’t
Love me the way that a woman can
Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you love me
Oh, why can’t you love me
Like a woman can?
