Song information

"Main Man" was released as a promo CD in the United States and as a 7" inch single. In 1988 in order to promote the song, a music video was filmed and Cher sang "Main Man" during the MTV Video Music Awards. After consideration, Geffen Records decided not to officially release the song.

Critical reception

Jose F. Promis of Allmusic retrospectively highlighted the song and called it "wonderfully sweet ballad."[2]

Music video

A music video was made in which Cher roams around her then empty mansion which at the time she was selling to comedian Eddie Murphy. The video also featured clips of Cher while singing the song at the MTV music awards. Rob Camiletti, Cher's boyfriend at the time, also appears in the video.
