"Invisible Man" is a sony by American boy band 98 Degrees, released on June 24, 1997, as their debut single and as the lead single from their first album, 98 Degrees (1997). It was their breakthrough hit, peaking at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number four in Canada. The song is featured as a bonus track on the European version of 98 Degrees and Rising. An acoustic version of the song is the closing track on their 2013 studio album 2.0.

Music video

Two music videos were made for the song. The more popular was shot in colors featuring the 98 Degrees members in a party with people dancing, some scenes show the members sitting on a couch while singing and some alternate shots featuring each member on what appears to be an apartment footbridge. The first was shot in black and white with the members getting out of a car and then walks to an empty warehouse and they start singing. The black and white music video was noted at the time for strong similarities to Take That's "Back for Good".
