"Take It Like A Man" is a song by Canadian electronic group Dragonette, released as the second single from their debut studio album, Galore (2007). It reached a peak position of number 112 on the UK Singles Chart.

Critical reception

Overall, the song received mostly positive reviews. Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine noted and complimented the song's complicated D/S dynamics, matched against a sugary, playful melody. Heather Pheres of AllMusic compared the song to previous works of Gwen Stefani, and new age rock band The Killers.

Music video

The music video, based on 1970s-era pornographic tropes, was directed by Ben Taylor, and premiered on Dragonette's official YouTube channel on June 26, 2007. Dragonette described the video as "very saucy".
