"Woman, Woman" is the debut single by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, from their 1968 debut album Woman, Woman.[2] It was written and composed by Jim Glaser and Jimmy Payne, and uses session musicians from The Wrecking Crew.[3] Like most of the band's hits, it is a ballad centered around Gary Puckett's soulful vocals. The lyrics are from the perspective of a man who senses that his wife is dissatisfied with him sexually, and fears that she is going to start cheating on him. The song went to number 3 on Cash Box and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1968.[4]
The band recorded the song in August 1967,[5] and it was released as their debut single in September. It was certified as a million-selling Gold disc in February 1968.[6] The B-side was a cover of the Tim Hardin song "Don't Make Promises."
An international success, the song went to number 1 in Canada in 1967 and also reached number 7 in Australia.[7] In the UK, the song peaked at number 48 in 1968.[8]
