"Like Only a Woman Can" is a song written by Irish singer Brian McFadden and Phil Thornalley. It was first released as a single in Ireland only, where it reached the number-one position in April 2007. In March 2008, an alternative version of the song was released in Australia and New Zealand as the lead single from McFadden's second studio album, Set in Stone (2008), peaking at numbers 13 and 39, respectively. The video for the song was shot in Brisbane, Australia.
McFadden explained in an interview that "Like Only a Woman Can" is "an open and frank love-song to someone who has helped the writer find redemption." He went on to explain, "It's a song about Delta. Equally, it's me admitting the mistakes of my past, while looking forward to the future."[1]
