"Hey, Man!" is the fifth single from Canadian singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado's first album, Whoa, Nelly!. It was released only in the United Kingdom and Germany, where it reached number forty-nine. "Hey, Man!" samples "White Man Sleeps" from the Kronos Quartet's album Pieces of Africa. The single includes the live videos for "Hey, Man!" and "Baby Girl".

The song was produced by Gerald Eaton and Brian West of the band The Philosopher Kings. Furtado has said of the song: "It's a big pop song and kind of rocking now because we went back to the demo version of it. Brian West had his Pieces of Africa CD, and he wanted something distinct to happen in the chorus. So he chopped up 'White Man Sleeps' by The Kronos Quartet. It's really good." The video was shot in London, England.

The singles reached #87 on the Dutch Mega Single Top 100.
