You're the Man is the fourth posthumous studio album by American singer Marvin Gaye, originally intended to be released in 1972 as the follow-up to What's Going On. It was released on March 29, 2019, through Motown, Universal Music Enterprises, and Universal Music Group to celebrate what would have been Gaye's 80th birthday on April 2, 2019. The album includes the single of the same name, as well as the intended original album in full and other songs Gaye recorded at the time.[1]

Salaam Remi's mix of "My Last Chance" was released in promotion of the album on February 8, 2019.[1]

Motown followed this release a few months later with the digital Expanded Edition of the album, which included three bonus tracks; "Head Title a.k.a. Distant Lover", "My Last Chance" (7" Single Version), and "You're the Man" (Alternate Version 1).
