Anita Cochran

Cochran was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2017. In 2018, several artists gathered to hold a benefit concert for her. Cochran finished her last round of chemotherapy on September 19, 2018. Cochran released her self-penned single "Fight Like A Girl" in October 2018. ABC's Good Morning America with Robin Roberts built a show around the song and had Cochran perform the song live on October 5, 2018. Cochran also performed the song for the halftime show on the NFL's Thursday Night Football game with the Arizona Cardinals and the Denver Broncos.

In 2007, Cochran produced country music singer Tammy Cochran's album Where I Am. The two singers are not related.

In 1997, after moving to Nashville, Tennessee, she was signed to Warner Bros. Records. Released in 1997, her debut album, Back to You, was produced by her as well. She co-wrote all but one of the album's songs and played several instruments on it. The album's lead-off single, "I Could Love a Man Like That", peaked at No. 64, followed by the No. 69 "Daddy, Can You See Me". The third single, a duet with Steve Wariner titled "What If I Said", reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts in early 1998. Following this song was the album's fourth and final single, "Will You Be Here?" also at No. 69. Her second album, Anita, produced three singles, all of which failed to reach the top 40.
