Universal Music announced the single on 15 August 2025, positioning it as the third preview from Dean’s album The Art of Loving and confirming an accompanying music video.[5] Independent music media also reported the release and its placement within the album campaign.[6][7] Upon release, Dean said: "'Man I Need' is a song about knowing how you deserve to be loved and not being afraid to ask for it. It's forward, sexy, fun. It's made for dancing."[1]

Lyrics and composition

[edit]

In interviews and label materials, Olivia Dean described "Man I Need" as a song about knowing how you deserve to be loved and not being afraid to ask for it, adding that it was made for dancing.[5][8][9] Critics noted that the track's assertive lyrical appeal is carried by an upbeat, dance-oriented arrangement that blends elements of pop, R&B and gospel, and compared it to works by Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Luther Vandross.[10]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Man I Need" was released alongside the single and was directed by Jake Erland.[11] Coverage described a studio-lot setting in which set pieces rotate around Dean as different potential partners pass by, reinforcing the song’s lyrical request for clarity and connection.[12]
