"The Devil Is Human" is a song by AURORA, released as a vinyl-exclusive track on some versions of her third studio album The Gods We Can Touch, and as a digital single on July 8, 2022.
The song appeared on concept track lists for "The Gods We Can Touch", but it was eventually scrapped on the final version of the album.
AURORA said of the song in a press release: "We get sexualised by the world, and yet shamed for being sexual. They want to possess you and own you, and even decide what you get to do with your own body. We are not free until all of us are free. The world have tried for many years to burn women who were strong, who were brilliant, brave and free spirited. The devil is human, or apparently the devil is a woman. You can burn the skin we live in, but you cannot burn the witch away. #ourbodyourchoice."
In an interview with Music Backstage she said the song was inspired by "female energies": "The world today, as it has throughout history, turns against women when it comes to our freedom, our right to vote, or to do what we want with our bodies. We have the right to be innocent, real and respectful at the same time as sexy and grown up. It would be important for men to be able to show their vulnerable side and cry, this does not make them less masculine. We could allow them much more feminine energy, but at the same time they wouldn't blame us for carrying it. I wanted to put out a song about that. The devil is a man, or as it seems lately, the Devil is actually a free woman, and that scares the world, I think. I think it's important to sing to my sisters, whether women or trans women."
