You Don't Own Me
1963 single by Lesley Gore
You Don't Own Me
"You Don't Own Me" is a pop song written by Philadelphia songwriters John Madara and David White and recorded by Lesley Gore in 1963, when she was 17 years old. The song was Gore's second most successful recording and her last top-ten single. Gore herself considered it to be her signature song claiming, "I just can't find anything stronger to be honest with you, it's a song that just grows every time you do it." The song was prominent at the time of its release in 1963 as it symbolized women's empowerment, showing the strength of a woman capable of standing up for herself against a man. Since then, the song has been hailed as an early feminist anthem. In 2015, Saygrace released her debut single, a cover of the song featuring the American rapper G-Eazy; it peaked atop the ARIA Charts and achieved moderate international chart success. The following year, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
