It was initially released on the band's fifth album Studio (1967), before being used as the B-side of their 1968 single "There's a Blind Man Playin' Fiddle in the Street".

[9] Lead guitarist Anders Töpel feeds his electric guitar through a leslie speaker during the bridge which adds an "ethereal sound" to the song.

[10] It is composed in the key of D major and is largely based on the drumming of Lasse Svensson, which according to Kieron Tyler is reminiscent of the Zombies "Care of Cell 44", from their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle.

[15] Two months later, on 8 February 1968, the song was issued as the B-side of Tages' single "There's a Blind Man Playin' Fiddle in the Street", apparently in a lack of new material.

[18] According to writers at Expressen, "Like a Woman" was more "conventional" compared to some of the "unorthodox material" otherwise found on Studio, and marks the song as a highlight, despite the "strange lyrics".

[19] Similarly, in Aftonbladet, a reviewer claims "Like a Woman" to be a "delightful pop song" more in the vein of their previous album Contrast (1967).

[20] In Svenska Dagbladet, the writers note "Like a Woman" as a highlight of side A of the album, writing that "it took a slight break from the "Folk-inspired songs" which preceded it on Studio.

[21] Despite this, in Göteborgs Handels- och Sjöfartstidning, the song is noted as inferior to "There's a Blind Man" in a comparison of the two upon the single's release.
