Menzel described the significance of the song in a statement to \"Good Morning America.\"

\"'I'm Every Woman' means never withholding your gifts from the world and giving yourself permission to shine, because when you give yourself permission, you give permission for other women to step into the light as well,\" Menzel said. \"Send a care package to empower women and girls all over the world.\"
