Be Human is the third studio album from UK rock band, Fightstar, and was released on April 20, 2009. The album was made available for digital download a day earlier on April 19, 2009. The iTunes download includes a bonus track which is an acoustic version of "Unfamiliar Ceilings", the final track on the band's previous studio album, performed with Xfm's Katie P.

The record was co-produced by the band along with Carl Bown and was recorded between a period of August through to December 2008 at Treehouse Studios, Chesterfield, Derbyshire

The band then worked with composer Audrey Riley in Air Studios, London with a full 16-piece orchestra and they cite this as the biggest progression in terms of sound from their previous releases. Lead vocalist and guitarist, Charlie Simpson, commented "It was great to bring that element, that classical side, into it. It adds so much."[7]

The first single from the album was "The English Way", released along with a music video on November 3, 2008. The CD single had a demo titled Colours Bleed, which has now been changed to Colours Bleed to Red, for the new album.

The video for second single, "Mercury Summer", premiered on February 25, 2009, whilst the physical release was on April 6. The song further showcased a more experimental direction, with a lighter sound and synthesiser prominent throughout.

In a live web chat with fans on the official Fightstar forum on the 9th of April, 2009, the band confirmed that they expect 'Never Change' to be the next single, and that they have already begun to prepare the music video.
