Frauen regier'n die Welt (English: "Women rule the World", official translation: "Guess who rules the world") was Germany's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki. It was the first song which was performed in German after Michelle's entry with Wer Liebe lebt in 2001.

It was performed by German swing singer Roger Cicero and written by Matthias Hass and Frank Ramond. Cicero performed 16th during the contest and came 19th (out of 24) in the voting.

The lyrics were criticised by Germany's feminist magazine EMMA. They voted Roger Cicero "Pasha of the Month" (a title for men who display chauvinist attitudes) because of the song's lyrics. They are of the opinion that the line"Und schon öffnen sich Tasche und Herz und dann kaufst du ´n Ring und ´n Nerz" (translation: And soon your wallet and heart open and then you buy a ring and mink coat) is antiquated. (EMMA Magazine Issue 3/2007)
