"Human" is a song recorded by British synthpop group The Human League, and released as the lead single from their 1986 album Crash. The song was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The song topped the US charts, becoming the band's second single to top the Billboard Hot 100 after their 1981 single "Don't You Want Me". It was also number 1 in Canada, reaching number 5 in Germany and number 8 in the band's native UK.
The song's lyrics deal with the subject of human infidelity, in which a man and a woman after separation get together for an exchange of confessions in the relationship. In the first two verses, vocalist Philip Oakey apologizes to his partner for being unfaithful during her absence, and in the song's breakdown, spoken word confession by backing vocalist Joanne Catherall reveals that she too was unfaithful. The song's title is derived from the chorus, in which both parties in the relationship explain that they are "only human" and "born to make mistakes".
The "Human" music video (where the shorter version of the song is performed) was filmed in London in June 1986 in a studio using the Chroma key overlay effect. It is heavily stylized to give a "water reflection" effect, in contrast to the song's lyrical theme which addresses the "stain of error", and a blue tint throughout. The video was conceived and directed by Andy Morahan.
