In "Only Human," the Jonas Brothers sing about having a great time with someone they love and their desire to continue spending time together. The song is characterized by cheerful, upbeat melodies and catchy lyrics, encouraging listeners to dance and let go of their inhibitions. The opening lines establish the song's thesis: "I don't want this night to end / It's closing time, so leave with me again." The Brothers passionately articulate their need to be with one another, even if the night has already come to an end.
The Brothers then launch into the chorus, proclaiming that it's only human to want to let loose and have fun, especially with someone they love. The song's carefree chorus and upbeat 80's-inspired instrumentation meld well with the song's message of living life to its fullest. An interesting aspect of the song's lyrics is its references to the 80's, specifically when they sing "Drunk to an 80s groove," and "Love with an attitude / Drunk to an 80s groove." These lines reference the groovy 80's style, characterized by disco beats, glittering outfits, and an overall party mood.
