This version, produced by Teddy Riley, became a number-one R&B single, selling 1,000,000 copies and earning a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The group revealed in a 2014 interview that they initially did not like Teddy Riley's “Human Nature” remix because they felt it was too boring and would not be a hit.
R&B singer Chris Brown's song "She Ain't You" (2011) samples Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" and a portion of SWV's remixed version.
Human Nature was also sampled by Nas in the hit song "It Ain't Hard to Tell" on his debut album Illmatic (1994).
"[12] Alan Jones from Music Week gave it four out of five, noting that "this widely-bootlegged melding of a track" is released with Michael Jackson's blessing.
"[14] Tony Cross from Smash Hits gave the remix four out of five, stating that Jackson's "Human Nature" "is the perfect vehicle for their high harmonies and they have turned his old choirboy rendition into something with much more sass and soul.
"[15] Charles Aaron from Spin noted the 1993 remix as a "total radio swoon and uncanny appropriation that lets you enjoy Michael Jackson in a way not heard since, say, "O.P.P."
Thank Teddy Riley for the remix, but this female trio relaxes, croons, and converses so lovely, you gotta feel suave.
It features the singers having flashbacks to boys they liked as young girls, then is brought to the present day with the women and their boyfriends.
An alternate version of the "Human Nature Remix" video features wildlife scenes from Free Willy along with clips of Michael Jackson from his 1992 Dangerous World Tour.
