"Human" (not to be confused with "Human", recorded in 2018) is an unreleased song by Dua Lipa which was intended to be on her self-titled debut album "Dua Lipa", but was ultimately scrapped.
Background[]
Despite popular belief, the song was recorded in 2015-2016 for her debut album, not in 2018 for Future Nostalgia as many fans speculate and was produced by King Henry. The chorus lyric "I [just] want you to love me" was also reused in the chorus of "Used To You". The vocal chops in the song's intro were reused in the intro and background of "Audio" by Sia, Labrinth & Diplo (LSD) on their 2019 self-titled album. This likely resulted from King Henry since he contributed to the production of both songs. Snippets of the song were leaked on February 28, 2021 and March of 2021. The song was later leaked in full on April 16, 2021.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
As the light follows through the day
And the dark follows through the night
What does it mean, what does it mean? Yeah
You say the gold never fades away
I'd trade the gold for you any day
What does it mean, what does it mean? Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need the pretty lights
No recognition for tonight
I, I just wanna live my life, oh
Calling out my fuckin' name
I'm a human, yes I say
I'm the same way as I came, oh
[Chorus]
I want you to love me
I want you to love me
If I had no-nothing no more
Would you say that you love me
Say that you love me?
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more
[Verse 2]
Oh, I, I wanna go in deep
Show you what's underneath
What does it mean, what does it mean? Yeah
So I am giving you all of me
What you get now is what you see
That's what I mean, that's what I mean, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need the pretty lights
No recognition for tonight
I, I just wanna live my life, oh
Calling out my fuckin' name
I'm a human, yes I say
I'm the same way as I came, oh
[Chorus]
I want you to love me
I want you to love me
If I had no-nothing no more
Would you say that you love me
Say that you love me?
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more
[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, tell me what you see
Tell me, is it you or is it me?
If I got you, you know that I don't need
Nothing, nothing, nothing no more
Tell me, tell me, tell me what you see
Tell me, is it you or is it me?
If I got you, you know that I don't need
Nothing, nothing, nothing no more
[Chorus]
I want you to love me
I want you to love me
If I had no-nothing no more
Would you say that you love me
Say that you love me?
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more (Oh)
If I had no-nothing no more
