track on his 2008 album Roc and a Hard Place. American hip hop recording artist Ab-Soul sampled "A Woman Like Me" on his song "Still a Regular Nigga", taken from his mixtape Longterm 2: Lifestyles of the Broke and Almost Famous (2010). Reception During a review of the film's DVD, Damon Smith of the UK-based newspaper Manchester Evening News described the song as "sultry". Writing for the American Jet magazine, Andrew Schwartz felt that the character Beyoncé portrayed sang an "iconic song", referring to "A Woman Like Me". He further noted the track was a "unique collaboration" between Beyoncé and the director of the movie, Shawn Levy, saying that it reflects the singer's "style and taste". For the chart issue dated July 1, 2006, "A Woman Like Me" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles which acts as a twenty five song extension to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Music video The DVD version of the film includes an exclusive complete performance of the song in the special features. The video shows Beyoncé, as Xania, in two scenes of the film singing on a small stage with two back-up dancers. The entire video is set to look like Beyoncé is performing the song with no microphone. Three different shots were used from five takes for the visual performance of the song in the film. The video is only briefly shown in the film The Pink Panther as part of a scene and was officially fully released after the DVD release. Phil Bacharach of the website DVD Talk wrote that "The lovely Beyoncé takes center stage in two bonus features" in the film, referring to the music video of "Check on It" and the performance of "A Woman Like Me". He further described the video of the performance of the song as "more interesting" than the music video for "Check on It" which was also included.
