"Human" (sometimes stylised Human (Fuimos Humanos)) is a song by English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, featuring the Mexican pop duo Jesse & Joy. Released digitally on 21 August 2025, it appears on the deluxe edition of Williams' album Britpop . [1]
Williams introduced the collaboration in summer 2025, and the single was issued worldwide on 21 August. The track blends soft electronic production with a reflective, mid-tempo arrangement, and serves as one of the singles leading into the album's 2026 release. [2]
It was accompanied by a lyric visualiser, which the singer later described as having "become the official video". The visual was directed by Charlie Lightening, a long-time collaborator of Williams, and was promoted through Williams’ social media accounts and music press coverage.
The song was written by Robbie Williams, Owen Parker and Karl Brazil, with production by Parker, Brazil and Martin Terefe. [3]
Musically, “Human” is a restrained, reflective ballad with electronic textures and a strong vocal refrain. [4]
Lyrically, the song addresses anxieties about artificial intelligence and the future of human value. [5]
Cult Following remarked the contradiction about employing AI to make a song titled "Human". The magazine labelled it as "vacant music-making". [6]
The single circulated as part of the promotional rollout for Britpop, alongside "Rocket", "Spies" and "Pretty Face", and was featured in streaming playlists upon release. [7] [ unreliable source? ]
