Celine Cairo Releases New Song “Woman”
Dutch singer-songwriter Celine Cairo released the third single called “Woman” from her upcoming third studio album “Panacea” on March 20, 2026, following “Cycles” and “Panacea”.
The album is set to be released on June 18, 2026.
“Woman” is a slow-building, string-led ballad that reflects on modern womanhood with warmth, honesty and grace.
The song was born from an unexpected evening spent with her best friend.
It was written by Celine Carmen Cairo, Robert Edmund Matthews, and Lawrence James Diamond. Produced by Celine Cairo and Benjamin Rheinländer.
Celine Cairo said of the song, “We talked for hours about our careers, our not-so-traditional lives, about aging and the great freedom that we have, and how we shouldn’t take any of it for granted. It sparked this immense feeling of gratitude and interconnectedness, as I realized how much my female friendships mean to me, and how much of a highlight they are in my life.”- She continued, “I also have older female friends whose guidance has helped me through some difficult times. With this song I wanted to pass on some words of wisdom and encouragement that I’ve received. The lyrics almost felt like a mantra, things I’d say to my friend, and still need to hear myself every now and then. It may sound corny, but I hope this song reinforces the notion that we are enough as we are. Women can be so hard on themselves, and I hope to inspire people to have more self-compassion, to put down some of the emotional labour and weight we carry, and to set ourselves a little more free every day.”

The accompanying music video was directed by Milos Salsbach and Celine Cairo, featuring her 90-year-old grandmother Hélène, shot on a wintry beach near Amsterdam.
She said of the video, “Woman is about living life to the fullest and daring to start over again and again, knowing everything is always changing. I see that courage so clearly in my grandmother. She embodies the spirit of the song for me. And I knew she would bring a whole new dimension to the song. Seeing her by the shoreline - I couldn't hold back my tears.” - source : Apple Music
