It is featured in the 2006 film The Pink Panther , in which Beyoncé plays as Xania. It was originally recorded for The Pink Panther 's soundtrack album , but was not later used like Beyoncé's other song " Check on It ". The song was originally written by the people involved in the film; However, Beyoncé partially rewrote some of the lyrics and their melodies and sent "A Woman Like Me" to her team, which had to repeat it. In an interview, Beyoncé said, "It had the power of a Tina Turner song, but the drama of a Bond song. It definitely fit the character. She makes a lot of noise about things like, 'Do you think you can handle a woman like me ? ' Xania is like that. " It was recorded in New York City with multitrack recordings in which Beyoncé harmonized with himself several times. Although the song was never released on an album or as a single, it was later featured by Steve Austin on the Hollywood Cole Presents: I'm the Juggernaut Bitch!
