The song describes a narrator who is in love with a woman, and because of this, he states how there is nothing else in the world like the love of a woman.

Critical reception

[edit]

Brady Vercher of Engine 145 gave the song a "thumbs down" review.[1] Vercher stated that "eighty percent of the song is hook without much of a supporting story and even then, the opening verse completely fails to support the hook in any sort of meaningful way and makes the sentimental tone of the song feel awkward."[1] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin put "Something About a Woman" at number seven on his top 10 list of Owen's best songs.[2]
