Written and sung by frontman Tommy Scott in tribute to his late father, "Female of the Species" is a funky, upbeat Latin-flavoured number with feel-good vibes, black humoured lyrics, and vocals inspired by lounge singers such as Perry Como and Frank Sinatra, which proves how unique Space's music is.

In 1997, "Female of the Species" earned Space their only appearance on college radio in America. The song was also used as an opening theme to the UK drama Cold Feet.
