"Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)" is a 1972 soul track by Stevie Wonder. Released as a single, it was the second track on Wonder's Music of My Mind album. In essence a two-part song, there is a coherence in that it tells a story of the singer's relationship with "Mary". The first part covers the her desire to be a star, and to leave behind her old life to become a movie star. The second part covers the narrator's wondering why she hadn't come back as soon as he had hoped.

The song, both in its sound and length, was a change of pace for Wonder, who was trying to establish his own identity outside of the Motown sound. Besides its floaty ambience, it featured the singer as a one-man band.[1]

The song charted at #33 on the pop singles chart.
