Grammy Award-winning rock icon, Melissa Etheridge, announces today the release of her new single, “Don’t You Want A Woman,” out now on all streaming platforms!

Melissa has been showcasing the electrifying new song – which she produced alongside Shooter Jennings – on the road this summer during her co-headline tour with the Indigo Girls and fans can hear the single live through the remainder of dates which wrap in two days in Phoenix.

The release of “Don’t You Want A Woman” also kicks off Etheridge’s powerhouse new partnership with the number one ranked team in the National Women’s Soccer League, Kansas City Current. The collaboration will literally make waves throughout CPKC stadium – the first stadium purpose-built for a professional women’s sports team. The team will incorporate the song into the matchday experience as well as across its social channels.

Of the new single Etheridge said, “’Don’t You Want A Woman’ is my long-awaited new single that has been four years in the making and was one of my favorite songs to write. Women are some of my favorite people and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want a woman in their life who is going to rock their world in every way.”

She continues, “When the KC Current reached out, we played ‘Don’t You Want A Woman’ and all of us just knew this was the song to describe the incredible group of strong women that make up the team. I am beyond thrilled to be partnering with them and can’t wait for fans to hear the song at upcoming games.”

“Melissa Etheridge embodies the same strength, authenticity, and passion that define the Kansas City Current,” said KC Current co-owners, Angie and Chris Long. “Her new single celebrates powerful women, and that message perfectly aligns with who we are as a club and as a community. We’re honored to have her voice echo through CPKC Stadium as the soundtrack to our team and our city and we’re excited to do more with Melissa in the future.”

Etheridge’s collaboration with the KC Current is particularly special, as the rocker will appear as the “KC Baby Chant Leader” in November. The Kansas native and long-time advocate for women’s sports will take center stage at CPKC Stadium on November 2, 2025, to lead the crowd in the signature “K-C-Baby!” chant, igniting the energy and creating a powerful moment with fans just ahead of kickoff.
