"Too Many Man" is the debut single by English grime group Boy Better Know, released on 25 May 2009. It broke into the UK singles chart on 6 June 2009, peaking at #79 the following week.[2]

The song was originally conceptualised by Skepta, due to his annoyance over the "lack of women" in nightclubs. The song features BBK members Skepta, Shorty, Jme, Frisco and Wiley. As well as being released as a single, it was also included on Jme's debut studio album Famous? (2008), Skepta's sophomore album Microphone Champion (2009), and Wiley's album Race Against Time (2009). It is the group's most successful and well known song.[3]
