Human Nature is the third studio album by Australian boy band and pop vocal group Human Nature released on 1 December 2000. The album marked a change in style for the group, from the previous smooth R&B/pop sound, to a more upbeat, electronic sound, similar to contemporaries NSYNC.[1]

Making of the album

[edit]

The album was recorded just after the 2000 Summer Olympics and achieved major success all around Australia. The lead song, "He Don't Love You", was released a month earlier and was filmed at Avalon Airport.[2] For two of their video clips, they flew to Bali (When We Were Young) and the UK (Don't Come Back).
