"Superman" is a song recorded by American singer Barbra Streisand for her 1977 self-titled nineteenth studio album. The song was written by Richie Snyder, and the recording was produced by Gary Klein.
The song was released as a single in March 1979 in the United States, much later after the release of the Superman album itself. By that time, the Greatest Hits Vol. 2 compilation (which included "Superman") and Songbird had already been released, and Streisand herself was preparing the comedy The Main Event for release. Nevertheless, the single was a success on the adult contemporary charts in Canada and the United States.
On the flip side is the song "A Man I Loved" (written by Niki Oosterveen and George Michalski) from the album Songbird.
