Man About Town is the fourth studio album by American musician Mayer Hawthorne. It was released on April 8, 2016, under Vagrant Records.

Man About Town received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 74, based on 8 reviews. Mark Deming of AllMusic said, "Man About Town doesn't boast much in the way of radical steps forward. But it confirms the man is still very good at what he does." Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe said, "Highlights album come when the songs stretch beyond Hawthorne's solo comfort zone." Mackenzie Herd of Exclaim! said, "There is an invigorating energy that shines through the lyrics and tempo of this album, so although lyrics about the finer things of California living aren't necessarily profound or entirely relatable, on Man About Town, Hawthorne's buoyant optimism for beginning anew in 2016 is utterly contagious." Colin McGuire of PopMatters said, "Like it or not, there aren't many people who can pull off what Mayer Hawthorne does best these days as well as Mayer Hawthorne does it. It fills a very real void in an increasingly crowded and grossly jaded pop music world. It is, in essence, important work."

When we spoke you were throwin' those words at me

I didn't understand what I did wrong

I got on a plane to Miami

And when I got back you were gone

And now all I have

Is an empty flask

'Cause I'm still attached

And I've got to find a way

To get you back

Get you back

Get you back

Get you back

I still smell your perfume on my pillow

(Chanel No. 5)

You lit up the room when the lights went out

Lord I didn't know what I was in for

(Caught me by surprise)

Hit me like an 808 from the dirty South

And now all I have

Is an empty flask

'Cause I'm still attached

And I've got to find a way

To get you back

Get you back

Get you back

Get you back
