"Only Time Makes It Human" is a song by American singer-songwriter King Princess, released on October 16, 2020. The song sees Straus delving into the dance-pop genre, and described as "a 21st century take on Kylie Minogue's '00s club mainstay "Can't Get You Out of My Head".[2] It is a break-up song about unrequited love and the "healing power of time".[3] The song's official music video features Straus as a "crying 3D avatar of herself" that Billboard called "trippy" and "far from anything you would have expected from her."[1]
