Ain't No Man is a song by British singer-songwriter Dina Carroll. After singing on two singles with British dance production duo Quartz, she was relaunched as a solo artist with this song, which was released in June 1992 by A&M as the first single from the singer's debut album, So Close. Lyrically, the song is sung from the view of a woman singing to her man, telling him that there ain't no man that makes her feel like he do. Carroll told in an 1992 interview, "We wanted an anthemic, memorable song. For some reason, Nigel [Lowis] brought up 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough', and that idea evolved into 'Ain't No Man'. The song was well received among music critics, with Jon O'Brien from AllMusic describing the song as "smooth disco-pop", and Larry Flick from Billboard felt that Carroll has a "wonderful, belting voice that deserves to be embraced in pop radio circles." The song peaked at No. 16 in the UK charts, No. 26 in the Netherlands and No. 63 in Germany.
