To Be Human
2019 single by Marina Diamandis
"To Be Human" is a song recorded by Australian singer Sia featuring English singer Labrinth for the soundtrack to the 2017 superhero film Wonder Woman. It was released as a single on 25 May 2017 by WaterTower Music.
Composition
"To Be Human" is a pop ballad; some critics believed it reflects the film's core relationship between Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Chris Pine's Steve Trevor. Lyrically, the song expresses a love that can conquer all odds. It is the only non-instrumental song on the soundtrack album.
Critical reception
In Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos thought that with the "cinematic" single, Sia "creates a sweeping, epic musical moment". Lauren Tom for Billboard wrote that "Sia's powerful song reflects the film’s underlying message", noting the singer "channels her inner Wonder Woman". Megan Davies in Digital Spy opined the song is a "powerful new anthem". Randall Colburn of Consequence of Sound wrote: "The swelling, anthemic track, is a rousing one, bound to underscore a tender moment between Gal Gadot and co-star Chris Pine".

Why this record matters
“To Be Human” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Human, single and Marina provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q111008381. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
