"Human Touch" is a 1983 single performed by Australian musician Rick Springfield from his album Living in Oz. The song reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.[1] It was also his most successful hit in the UK, peaking at number 23;[2] this also led to a performance on Top of the Pops. Because of this being Springfield's only top 40 single in the UK, he is considered a one-hit wonder in England, despite the fact that "Jessie's Girl" is his biggest hit worldwide. However, that song only peaked at 43 in 1984 for Springfield, 3 years after its release in the UK.

Cash Box noted the irony of the song using synthesizers and drum machines in a song that rails "against the impersonal coldness of computerized society," saying that this works "quite well."[3]

Some of the music video is about Marvel characters like Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) and Nova Corps.^{[citation needed]}

The song features in the videogame Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on the fictional radio station Flash FM.
