"Human" is a song by British singer and songwriter Rag'n'Bone Man. The song was co-written by Rag'n'Bone Man, Jamie Hartman and produced by Two Inch Punch. It was released as a digital download on 21 July 2016, through Sony Music and Columbia Records. The song will be included on his debut studio album Human (2017).

The song is written in the key of B minor with a common time tempo of 75 beats per minute. The vocals span from A3 to B5 in the song.

Cameron Adams of The Daily Telegraph compared the song to "Take Me to Church" by Hozier for both having an "instant impact, honest lyrics and throwback to ‘real’ music in a time of corporate pop."

Rag'n'Bone Man performed "Human" on Later... with Jools Holland on 20 September 2016. He also performed the song on Australian talk show The Morning Show on 28 October 2016.

On 23 December 2016, the song reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, scoring the Christmas number two of 2016. The song, however, was the most downloaded and top-selling single throughout the week [1] with the lack of streams influencing the overall chart position to be lower, denying the song the coveted Christmas number one.
