Human Nature (Madonna song)
"Human Nature" is a song by American singer Madonna from her sixth studio album ''Bedtime Stories'' (1994). The album was released with the intention to tone down the image of Madonna, who was being heavily criticized at the time. The song was written and produced by Madonna and Dave Hall, with Shawn McKenzie, Kevin McKenzie and Milo Deering also receiving songwriting credits for sampling Main Source's 1994 song "What You Need". "Human Nature" was released on June 6, 1995 by Maverick Records.
The R&B influenced song received mixed reviews from music critics. It became a moderate hit in the United States, peaking at number 46 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and at number two on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. In the United Kingdom, the single entered the chart and peaked at number eight and it also charted within the top ten in Italy and Japan.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, and features Madonna and her dancers dressed in latex and leather dancing highly choreographed routines. Unlike her previous music videos for "Justify My Love" and "Erotica", however, the video was meant to be more humorous than sexy. It was a satirical depiction of sex, meant to ridicule the taboos that several societies place on the subject. Madonna has performed "Human Nature" on three of her concert tours, most recently on her 2012 MDNA Tour.
==Background==
During 1992 and 1993, Madonna released her ''Sex'' coffee table book and her fifth studio album ''Erotica'' and also starred in the erotic thriller ''Body of Evidence''. The three were highly explicit, with Madonna using extremely sexual imagery. She promoted her album with the controversial The Girlie Show World Tour, where she rubbed the flag of Puerto Rico between her legs on stage. In March 1994, she appeared as a guest on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'', using profanity that was required to be censored on television and handing Letterman a pair of her underwear and asking him to smell it. The releases of her sexually explicit films, albums and book, and the aggressive appearance on Letterman all made critics question Madonna as a sexual renegade. She faced strong negative publicity from critics and fans, who commented that "she had gone too far" and that her career was over. In response to the critics panning the sexual imagery used in her past efforts, Madonna wrote and recorded "Human Nature" for her sixth album ''Bedtime Stories'' which eventually became the fourth single. Madonna's record label wanted to release a more radio-friendly pop track for the fourth single from the album, "Don't Stop", but Madonna wanted to release "Human Nature" instead and ended up getting her wish.
