"Be the Man" is the second single from Céline Dion's Let's Talk About Love album. It was released on November 13, 1997 in Japan only.

"Be the Man" was written specially for the Japanese TV drama entitled Eve - Santaclaus Dreaming and included on the EVE original soundtrack album, released on November 13, 1997 in Japan. There were two versions of this song recorded: English and Japanese.

No music video was made.

Sony Music wanted to repeat "To Love You More" single's success. "Be the Man" reached #24 on the Oricon chart and was certified platinum (100,000).

The song was also a B-side to "The Reason" single, released at the same time in the United Kingdom.
