"Human" is the lead single of an upcoming Album by American Artist 'Barbie Doll', and was written by Barbie Doll also known as Stephanie Red and produced by Barbie Doll and David Kosten. David Kosten is known for working with popular Indie Artists. Lyrically, "Human" is about heavy subjects such as rape, racism, bombings etc. It's basically about Humans and their cruel doings. At the end of the song, she questions if our behaviour is something we learn or are born with. If humans are killing for themselfs or if they are killing eachother. She states that Humans are selfish, and don't think about the consequences.
"Human" is Barbie Doll's third overall single and the follow up to hit 2 singles which represented her #1 EP. "Human" was actually announced 7 months ago but duo to Album issues, the release of the single got delayed. "Human" was written after getting signed by "Songs To Love And Die By" and right after several headlines in the News. The song is heavily inspired by actual news and doings. It's a mid-tempo Alternative song with Synth and Electro influences. Barbie Doll stated ;
"Human is the first single and the first song I wrote for my album. It's definitly my favorite song on the album and probably the most 'important' song I've written in my career. I don't know if this will be successful or have any radio play but It's something I needed to write about and I feel like It's the right song to represent my album. When I saw the news on TV about the bombings, rape news, islamphobia or racism towards people of color..I felt disgusted with Humans. The world is a cruel place, or to be exact it's a beautiful place with cruel beings in it." To promote the song, Barbie Doll performed on the hit Talk Show "Real Talk" and received critical praise for the lyrics and her vocals. To promote her album, she also performed a different song on CTSTYLE and spoke about the album. In the interview she also mentions "Human". At New Year's Eve she also tweeted on Twitter that a new single will be released early January. 1 Hour before the release of "Human" she tweeted again and simply wrote '1 Hour'.

Murder kills Lifes
So does Wars
Surviving in a cruel world
Rich against poor
at the end of the day
We're human species
It's deep in our DNA
One Man can build a bomb
Another one runs a race
to save somebody's life
It just blows my mind
I'm not alone, Not the only one
Who can't understand
I'm not scared of God
I'm scared of Human
Is It in our blood
Is it in our brain
Is it in our genes
Is it in our DNA
Humans aren't pretty at all
as we think, as we speak
Human kills, Human kills
Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at all?
we're just animals who can't live togetherWe live, We die
We murder, We kill, we lie
worse than animals
but with no face
We laugh, We cry
all in the same time
One sided laugh, one sided cry
The same world
Same Day, same tale of rape
another bomb is ticking deep down and detonate
I'm not alone, Not the only one
Who can't understand
I'm not scared of god
I'm scared of Human
Watch it on the news
Watch it on the TV
watch it on your phone
It's a cruel world
Humans are cruel, cruel , cruel
Yeah, we can be bad , really bad
Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at tall?
we're just animals who can't live togetherUndernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriagesIt's the truth, we make our own graves
we're worse than animals, killing our own species
All the hate coming from the same generation
Who got everything nothing guided by temptation
were we born to abuse, shoot a gun to run
or are we undone?
is it human trait or a learned behaviour?
Are we killing for ourselfs or are we killing us?
Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at all?
we're just animals who can't live together
Undernath it all, we're just selfish
hidden behind clothes, ties and marriages
How could we expect good at tall?
we're just animals who can't live together
