Human Nature is the third 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 'N Sync.

Making of the album

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. For two of their video clips, they have flown to Bali (When We Were Young) and the UK (Don't Come Back).
