Written And Composed by S.Pocaro, J.Bettis Little info about song: Porcaro recorded a rough demo on a cassette, which fellow Toto band member David Paitch put three songs on for Quincy Jones to listen to, as possibles for Thriller. Quincy didn't like Paitch's songs, but he did like a rough demo of Human Nature at the end of the tape, and asked if he could use it. It was the last song chosen for Thriller, issued in December 1982 - it ousted 'Carousel' from the final track listing. Released as a single in most countries, but not the UK, where it was the B-side of Leave Me Alone. It charted at no.7 in the Hot 100 and no.27 on the R&B singles chart in the US. An alternate version, with a slight difference in the short instrumental segment mid-way through the song, featured on the Japanese 3" CD single, Thriller.
