[Chorus]
You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you, my one
When all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
And I, I feel it after midnight
A feelin' that you can't fight, my one
It lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna waste no time, yeah
You ain't got a one-track mind, yeah
Have it any way you like, yeah
And I can tell that you know I know how I want it
Ain't nobody else can relate
Boy, I like that you ain't afraid
Baby, lay me down and let's pray
I'm tellin' you the way I like it, how I want it
[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah) And I can be all the things you told me not to be
(Yeah) When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing
(Yeah) And he see the universe when I'm the company
It's all in me
[Chorus]
You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you, my one
When all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
And I, I feel it after midnight
A feelin' that you can't fight, my one
It lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman
[Verse 2]
(Yeah)
I tell you all the things you should know
So baby, take my hands, save your soul
We can make it last, take it slow, hmm
And I can tell that you know I know how I want it, yeah
But you're different from the rest
And boy, if you confess, you might get blessed
See if you deserve what comes next
I'm tellin' you the way I like it, how I want it
[Pre-Chorus]
(Yeah) And I can be all the things you told me not to be
(Yeah) When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishing
(Yeah) And he see the universe when I'm the company
It's all in me
[Chorus]
You, you love it how I move you
You love it how I touch you, my one
When all is said and done
You'll believe God is a woman
And I, I feel it after midnight
A feelin' that you can't fight, my one
It lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman

You'll believe God is a woman

(God is a woman)
Oh, yeah
(God is a woman, yeah)
(One)
It lingers when we're done
You'll believe God is a woman
God is a woman was written by Rickard Göransson & Max Martin & Savan Kotecha & ILYA & Ariana Grande.

Ariana Grande released God is a woman on Fri Jul 13 2018.
In her interview with Jimmy Fallon, Ariana stated that “God is a woman” is her Nonna’s favorite song from Sweetener.
Her Twitter lead-up to the single’s release was also very enthusiastic.
Yes and no. While God is most often regarded as a father figure and described with masculine pronouns, there are some metaphorical images of God as a female figure in the Judeo-Christian worldview. In other religions, such as Hinduism, the feminine aspect of ‘God’ is to be celebrated.

Yes, a video was released the same day as the single. The video features a monologue spoken by Madonna.
When asked about the creatures in the video in her August, 2018 interview on the Zach Sang Show, Ari had this to say:
So they kind of represent a bunch of things. To me, that feels like how I feel at times being a woman who is misunderstood and constantly labeled or pinned down as one thing or anot...
A song is labelled “Explicit” when elements in the song might offend a certain group of people. As every Christian, or just person, has a different believe of what God’s gender is, people might get offended, because Ariana states a fact that may not necessarily be the truth to everybody.
Ariana touched on the controversial nature of the track with Australian radio host Smallzy on July 30th, 2018.
I could either do this thing that to me seems really dope and genuine and awesome and important, and makes me feel empowered and great, and take whatever comes with it because I’m just bei...
Once in a while, you have a rough idea of a song or a chorus. In this song in particular, I had a chorus idea and a title idea and a melody. I just needed to figure out where it should go. We tried it out in various different ways, just rough and when things just don’t feel like this is the right th...

In an 2018 interview with Zach Sang she described how the two of them connected:
I texted her. […] I was like “Hey M, I know you have so much going on and like it’s probably not gonna happen but I had to ask because you’re such an inspiration to me obviously and this record is probably one of the m...
Rolling Stone ranked the track as Ariana’s #10 best song, saying:
If ‘God Is a Woman’ doesn’t make you a member of the church of Ariana, I don’t know what will. Despite the track’s religious undertones, there’s nothing pious about this song. Instead, Ariana forges an empowerment trap track centered...
