  Human Nature is the fifth album by American rock group Hardline with the modern line up featuring keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio, bassist Anna Portalupi, Francesco Jovino on drums and returning guitarist Josh Ramos with lead singer Johnny Gioeli. Originally it was announced during 2015 through a Facebook Video on their fan page from Johnny Gioeli and was originally titled Hardline 5, where they would be recording new songs "throughout the summer". It is the first Hardline album to feature returning guitarist Josh Ramos (who had returned to the band during their 2013 Danger Zone tour) replacing stand in guitarist Thorsten Koehne who previously played on Danger Zone. Ramos has not been featured on a Hardline record since 2009's Leaving the End Open.
  
  During the making of the new Hardline record, lead singer Johnny Gioeli announced he was working on his first ever solo album called One Voice, where fans could support the album through the crowdfunding site Pledgemusic. During this time the new Hardline album title was announced to be called Human Nature.
  
  On August 22, 2016, their label Frontiers Records released the new music video Where Will We Go from Here. On September 26 In The Dead Of The Night was revealed. A new track Take You Home was revealed as a music video by Gioeli and released on the Frontiers YouTube page a few months later on October 3, 2016. which would later on be revealed as Gioeli's personal favourite song on the album. The new CD was released on October 14, 2016. Gioeli likes to compare Human Nature to the sound of their first release, Double Eclipse, but with a fresh new twist.
