The Human Demands is the fifth studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald, and was released on 30 October 2020. Produced by Jim Abbiss, the album spawned the singles "The Hudson", "Crazy Shade of Blue", "Fire" and "Statues". To promote the album, she embarked on The Human Demands Tour, with dates across Europe. Originally scheduled to begin in 2020, it was rescheduled as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and began on 21 October 2021 in Reading, England.

A commercial success, it debuted at number two in her native Scotland and in Switzerland, and within the top ten of the albums charts in Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom. In 2021, she represented Scotland at the Free European Song Contest 2021 in Germany with the albums fourth single, "Statues".
