"Man's World" is a song recorded, written, and produced by Welsh singer-songwriter Marina for her fifth studio album, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land (2021). The song was also produced by American musician Jennifer Decilveo, who Marina enlisted as part of her effort to work with an all-female production team. It was released as the album's lead single on 18 November 2020 by Atlantic Records. A stripped-down version of the song was made available the next month. Atlantic commissioned two remixes of the song, which were produced by Muna and Empress Of featuring Pabllo Vittar, and released in 2021. "Man's World" is a midtempo alternative pop track with a piano-driven beat and a dreamy sound. Its lyrics criticise history's oppressive treatment of women and minority groups, and Marina states that she no longer wishes to live in a world exclusively led by men.
The song received positive reviews from music critics, and Marina's fulfillment of her promise to work with all-females on the track was commonly discussed. Commercially, "Man's World" entered New Zealand's Hot 40 Singles chart and reached the lower positions of the United Kingdom's downloads and sales component charts, compiled by the Official Charts Company. The accompanying music video for the song was released the same day as the song and directed by Alexandra Gavillet. Filmed in Simi Valley, California, it features the singer performing evocative choreography with a troupe of similarly dressed dancers and was inspired by the works of the neoclassicism movement.

"Man's World" was produced by American musician Jennifer Decilveo, and written and co-produced by Marina. Marina revealed in an interview with Vogue that the song was intended to be released in April 2020 to coincide with her performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, but the cancellation of the festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic prevented it. Ultimately, it was released for digital download and streaming in various countries on 18 November 2020, through Atlantic Records. That same day, Marina created a pre-order link for a limited edition 7" single on her official merchandise website, limited to 3,000 copies, pressed on pink-coloured vinyl, and containing a previously unreleased B-side. The release was originally scheduled for 12 March 2021, but was delayed until 9 April.{{cite web |title=Man's World (7" Colored Vinyl) |url=https://usshop.marinaofficial.co.uk/man-s-world-7-colored-vinyl.html |publisher=Marina |access-date=18 November 2020 |archive-date=19 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201119002214/https://usshop.marinaofficial.co.uk/man-s-world-7-colored-vinyl.html |url-status=live }} On 11 December 2020, a stripped-down version of "Man's World" was released to digital retailers, featuring a black and white variant of the cover artwork.

Musically, "Man's World" is a melodic alternative pop song. Tom Skinner from NME called the song dreamy. Keaton Bell from Vogue described the single as a "soaring pop anthem" that "sounds as big as the topics she's singing about". He also compared it to the song "Savages" from her third studio album, Froot (2015). Marina explained to Bell her inspiration behind the track:
At the time I was mostly inspired by the shifts that are happening for people who are discriminated against. The original idea for the song was to write a snapshot of how women and LGBTQ+ individuals have been subjugated and discriminated against throughout history going back to the Salem witch trials, where any person who was deemed abnormal or slightly alternative was singled out. Those kinds of patterns are still present in society. That’s something inspiring to me and worth writing about.
The song's instrumentation consists of piano, performed by Marina herself, in addition to Patrick Kelly on bass, Sam Kauffman on drums, and David Levita on guitar. Decilveo contributes on keyboards and synthesizer, is credited as the drum programmer, and also provided the background vocals for the track. It was mastered by Emily Lazar and recorded by Cian Riordan and Decilveo.{{cite news |last1=Kenneally |first1=Cerys |title=Marina returns with new cut 'Man's World' |url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/marina-returns-with-new-cut-mans-world |access-date=18 November 2020 |work=The Line of Best Fit |date=18 November 2020 |archive-date=19 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201119002138/https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/marina-returns-with-new-cut-mans-world |url-status=live }}
Lyrically, "Man's World" finds Marina criticising the poor treatment of "women and other minority groups throughout history". In the first verse she sings: "Burnt me at the stake, you thought I was a witch / Centuries ago, now you just call me a bitch".{{cite news |last1=Graves |first1=Shahlin |title=Marina Releases New Single 'Man's World'. |url=https://www.coupdemainmagazine.com/marina/17170 |access-date=19 November 2020 |work=Coup de Main |date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=18 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201118223430/https://www.coupdemainmagazine.com/marina/17170 |url-status=live }} Some lyrics reference former actress Marilyn Monroe or controversial subject matters, such as Hassanal Bolkiah, the current Sultan of Brunei.{{cite news |last1=Aswad |first1=Jem |title=Best Songs of the Week: Bleachers and Bruce Springsteen, Kali Uchis, Julien Baker and More |url=https://variety.com/2020/music/news/best-songs-of-week-bruce-springsteen-bleachers-kali-uchis-julien-baker-1234837124/ |access-date=23 November 2020 |work=Variety |date=20 November 2020 |archive-date=22 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201122122947/https://variety.com/2020/music/news/best-songs-of-week-bruce-springsteen-bleachers-kali-uchis-julien-baker-1234837124/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Wasylak |first1=Victoria |title=Marina exits an overrated 'Man's World' with colorful grace |url=https://vanyaland.com/2020/11/19/marina-exits-an-overrated-mans-world-with-colorful-grace/ |website=Vanyaland |access-date=31 January 2021 |date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=25 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125105057/https://vanyaland.com/2020/11/19/marina-exits-an-overrated-mans-world-with-colorful-grace/ |url-status=live }} Marina criticises Bolkiah and name-drops the Beverly Hills Hotel, which he owns, where she references "a sheik who killed thousands of gay men" and concludes "I guess that's why he bought the campest hotel in LA then".{{cite web |title=Marina – Man's World |url=https://www.contactmusic.com/video/marina-mans-world-video |publisher=Contactmusic.com |access-date=24 November 2020 |date=20 November 2020 |archive-date=26 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201126015729/https://www.contactmusic.com/video/marina-mans-world-video |url-status=live }} Her decision to blast "his use of Sharia law against homosexuals" was considered to be an effort to bring attention to the highly-contested issue, according to a contributor to Contactmusic.com.
