"You Don't Own Me" is a pop song written by Philadelphia songwriters John Madara and David White, and was 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 to stand up for herself against a man. Since then, the song has been hailed as an early feminist anthem. In 2015, singer SayGrace took Gore's song to No. 1 in Australia with a version featuring rapper G-Eazy. The following year, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
