Background

Planning for The Veronicas' fourth studio album began in 2016 with the release of the single "In My Blood",[2][3] which became their third Australian number-one single. The following month in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, they confirmed they had worked with Cathy Dennis, Jim Eliot and Ollipop on an "electro-fused" album due for release in November 2016,[4] which failed to materialise.

Subsequent singles were released; "On Your Side" in 2016 and "The Only High" in 2017. The album was then meant to be released in June 2017,[5] but was announced on 13 November 2017 that they would not release any new material until 2018.[6]

The single "Think of Me" was released in March 2019[7] and was slated as the album's first single, however no further music was released in 2019 except for buzz single "Ugly" used to promote their MTV Australia reality show The Veronicas: Blood Is for Life which aired in late 2019.

Finally, in June 2020, the album's title Human was announced, along with the single "Biting My Tongue" to be released on 3 July 2020. In an interview with Marie Claire the same month, The Veronicas provided information regarding the creative process behind Human, explaining that "although we've been writing this album over a few years, the majority of it was created in a cohesive time period. It feels like a completion of something. It feels like we had all these mini-bursts through this creation. And that whatever shift needed to happen was completed by the end of this writing phase. And each record has felt like that. But our second record and this record, most predominantly for that feeling."[8]
