“Man on the Moon” is the fourth track from Britney Spears' ninth studio album, Glory, released under RCA Records on 26 August, 2016.
The song utilizes space and astrological imagery to create a scene of Spears cosmically pining for a lost love. The use of the phrase “man on the moon” becomes an extended metaphor for someone far away. She misses him to such an extent that if feels as though he is a world away.
The track is laden with references to historical events and figures from the space race, such as the iconic phrase “Houston, we’ve had a problem”—said during an emergency on the Apollo 13 mission to the Moon in 1970—and Neil Armstrong, the first human to step foot on the surface of the Moon.
