• "The Man" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her seventh studio album Lover (2019). Swift co-wrote and co-produced the song with Joel Little. Musically, it is a synth-pop song which features flashy harmonies and murky synths. Over an uptempo production, Swift imagines the media's treatment of her if she were male.
• She challenges societal sexist double standards, with lyrics including a noteworthy reference to American actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Swift uses the actor as an example to explain sexism, singing "And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play/I'd be just like Leo in Saint-Tropez".
• According to Billboard's Gil Kaufman, "The Man" is a pointed statement about "how much harder women need to work than men to get to the same finish line".
• Following the release of its parent album Lover, "The Man" debuted at number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart of September 7, 2019.
