"For My Woman" is a song by Australian rock band the Easybeats, written by singer Stevie Wright and guitarist George Young. The Easybeats had formed in Sydney in 1964, with a sound inspired by the Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones. After signing with their manager Mike Vaughan, he introduced the band to producer and businessman Ted Albert, who liked them enough to sign with his company Albert Productions in December 1964. The song was recorded in January 1965 at the 2UW Theatre in Sydney as a demo together with three other songs.
Musically, "For My Woman" is centered in rhythm and blues and is structurally a relatively simple song, heavily revolving around two repeating chords. Vocally, Wright was inspired by vocalist Phil May while the lyrics tell the tale of a man who yearns for a woman. Albert managed to get the song distributed by Parlophone in Australia, who released the single on 18 March 1965, backed by "Say That You're Mine". Being their debut single, it only reached number 33 in the Kent Music Report. Retrospectively, the song has received primarily positive reviews, with a focus on Wright's vocal performance.
