My Man (Yoko Ono song)

"My Man" is a 1982 single by Yoko Ono from the album It's Alright (I See Rainbows) in a new wave/calypso style. "Let the Tears Dry" appeared on the B-side. The song was originally written in 1980.

Yoko wrote about the song when it was included on her 1992 boxset Onobox: "MY MAN was originally called MY PAPA because I referred to John as “Papa” when I spoke about him to my Japanese speaking friends, just as John started to sometimes call me “Mother” after Sean was born. John thought I should not call the song MY PAPA because there was already a song called that. “What about MY OLD MAN? ” he said. That didn’t seem quite right. We laughed. I had kept the song on the backburner and changed it to MY MAN at the time of the recording."

Cash Box said that it is one of Ono's catchiest pop songs. Billboard recommended it.

Ultimate Classic Rock critic Michael Gallucci rated it as Ono's 8th best song.
