"A Woman Like Me" is a song recorded by American recording artist Beyoncé, originally written for and performed in the 2006 film ''The Pink Panther''. It was written by Charmelle Cofield, Ron Lawrence, and Beyoncé and produced by the latter two. It was recorded using multitrack recording where Beyoncé harmonized with herself several times over. "A Woman Like Me" is a moderate R&B song which samples the horn arrangement from Simon Haseley's "Hammerhead". A performance video of the song appeared shortly on the film and the whole performance was included on the film's DVD. It peaked at number three on the US Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart following its release due to digital sales. The song was remixed by Steve Austin and S-ROC on their respective albums. ==Background and composition== "A Woman Like Me" was written by Charmelle Cofield, Ron Lawrence, and Beyoncé and produced by the latter two.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Woman Like Me (Legal Title) - BMI Work #6990646 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Soundtracks for The Pink Panther )〕 It is performed in the 2006 film ''The Pink Panther'' in which Beyoncé stars as Xania.〔 It was originally recorded for the soundtrack album for ''The Pink Panther'' but was eventually not used like Beyoncé's other song "Check on It".〔〔Beck, C.
