Man of the Year

about this song

In her 2025 interview with Rolling Stone, Lorde explained the song’s creation process: In 2023, she went shopping at clothing store C’H’C’M’ and tried on a pair of men’s jeans. She sent a picture to Stack to get his opinion. ‘He was like, ‘I want to see the you that’s in this picture represented in the music.’ This was before I had any sense of my gender broadening at all.’ Toward the end of that year, she went off birth control for the first time since she was 15.
