"Drowning Man" is a song by the English pop rock band Duran Duran from their seventh studio album, Duran Duran (1993), commonly known as The Wedding Album. Written during extensive studio sessions, the track originated from the bassist John Taylor's idea to pursue a dance-based sound. Musically, it has been described as drawing on elements of techno, house, trance, and the underground rave scene, and features a half-rapped vocal delivery from the singer Simon Le Bon. The song was later issued as a single in the United States, where it peaked at number forty on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, and has received mixed reception.
