[edit]"Ladies in the '90s" was written by Lauren Alaina, Jesse Frasure, and Amy Wadge, and produced by busbee.[1] Lyrically, the song pays homage to female artists and hit songs from the 1990s, a "decade of female superstars" that Alaina (who was born in 1994) looks back on fondly for its abundance of women on the radio that inspired her to become a singer.[1] The song makes references to major country hits "Strawberry Wine", "Breathe", "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", "Cowboy Take Me Away", and "Fancy", while also name-dropping songs from other genres, such as "...Baby One More Time", "Say My Name" , "No Scrubs", "Genie in a Bottle", "Vogue", "Wannabe", and "You Oughta Know".[2] In her live concerts, Alaina has been known to mash-up the song with Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)".
