"Man of the Year" is a song by New Zealand singer and songwriter Lorde. It was released on 29 May 2025 through Universal and Republic Records as the second single from her upcoming fourth studio album Virgin (2025). The song was announced by the singer on social media on 20 May 2025.
Lyrically, "Man of the Year" deals with gender identity and self-discovery, and was written when Lorde was exploring her gender expression after attending a GQ party in November 2023. Its accompanying music video, where the singer tapes her naked chest and dances in a loft filled with dirt, was noted by critics as symbolising themes of bodily autonomy, self-expression and gender fluidity.
