On “Humankind,” Moses sings alongside his father, “I say I know I know I know We’re only human/I know I know I know /How we’re designed, yeah /I know I know I know /We’re only human/But from another planet/ Still they call us Humankind.”

“When I called the mathematicians and I asked them to explain/They said love is only equal to the pain,” Gomez sings on the track, which sheteased earlier this month, before Chris joins her in the chorus.
Other songs on the album include, “People of the Pride,” “Human Heart,” “Infinity Sign” and single “My Universe” featuring BTS.
Paltrow and Chris — who divorced in 2016 — have kept their children mostly out of the limelight. However, the mother of two shared a selfie with Apple in honor of National Daughter’s Day late last month.
Paltrowwrote, “Oh man do I love you#nationaldaughtersday.”
“When they move, they power the concert,“Chris told the BBC.“The more people move, the more they’re helping. You know when the frontman says, ‘We need you to jump up and down’ When I say that, I literally really need you to jump up and down. Because if you don’t, then the lights go out.”
“We could stay at home and that may be better. But we want to tour and we want to meet people and connect with people - so try and do it in the cleanest way possible,” he added.
Among their commitments is offering free drinking water, striving to eliminate plastic bottles at every venue and donate 10% of earnings to environmental causes.
“We’re very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis. So we’ve spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour’s potential to push things forward,” the band said in a press release about the tour. “We won’t get everything right, but we’re committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It’s a work in progress and we’re really grateful for the help we’ve had so far.”
