The Man - Taylor Swift - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"The Man" is a track from Taylor Swift's 2019 seventh studio album, Lover. Written and produced by the singer with Joel Little, this synth-pop and electropop anthem dives into the societal double standards faced by women, with Taylor Swift reflecting on how differently she might be perceived if she were male. Notably referencing Leonardo DiCaprio, the lyrics critique the uneven playing field in fame and personal life, resonating with a broad audience for its feminist stance. Shortly after its release, "The Man" was praised for its bold message and musical production, featuring a mix of synthesizers and dynamic beats. "The Man" peaked at number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and left its mark in countries including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, among others. It officially hit US adult contemporary and pop radio as the album's fourth single in late January 2020. Taylor Swift later surprised fans with the live version "The Man (Live from Paris)," an acoustic rendition released on February 18, 2020.
