Young Man is the debut studio album by American country music artist Billy Dean, released in 1990 by Capitol Nashville. It produced two hit singles: "Only Here for a Little While" and "Somewhere in My Broken Heart". Both of these songs peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, with the latter also reaching #18 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts in both the United States and Canada. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA for U.S. sales of 500,000 copies.
The track "Somewhere in My Broken Heart" was previously recorded by Randy Travis on his 1989 album No Holdin' Back. Also, "Brotherly Love" was recorded by Keith Whitley and Earl Thomas Conley on Whitley's posthumous 1991 album Kentucky Bluebird, from which it was released as a single.
