"Man's World" is a song by Welsh singer and songwriter Marina from her upcoming, untitled fifth studio album. The song was written by Marina. It will be released for digital download and streaming as the album's lead single on 18 November 2020 by Atlantic Records.

Background and release

In 2019, Marina released Love + Fear, her fourth studio album and first without the "and the Diamonds" part of her former stage name.[1][2] To promote the project, she embarked on the accompanying Love + Fear Tour later in the year and released her sixth extended play Love + Fear (Acoustic) in September 2019.[3][4] Following the tour's completion, she began songwriting for a new album; in January 2020, Marina posted to her Instagram account, confirming that she was working on songs, with a photograph that used the caption "Album 5".[5] Another post revealed that she had also been writing lyrics while on a holiday in Paris.[6] Later into the year, she released the standalone single "About Love" in February, which was featured on the soundtrack to the American romantic comedy film To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020).[7][8]

Throughout the summer months, Marina teased that she was close to finishing the album and had plans to release new material soon.[6] Former interviews claimed that her next studio album would feature a team of female musicians, in contrast to her experience with Love + Fear in 2019. On 13 November 2020, she officially confirmed the release of a new song, titled "Man's World", when she posted the single's cover artwork to her social media accounts.[9] She also posted a photograph of herself containing the lyric "I don't wanna live in a man's world anymore".[10] Mike Wass, a contributor to Idolator, remarked that "Marina has traditionally spent several years on projects" so the announcement of "Man's World" was unexpected.[11]

"Man's World" will be released for digital download and streaming in various countries on 18 November 2020, through Atlantic Records.[9]
