"Superhuman" is an R&B and pop power ballad, with lyrics about romantic love bettering a couple's personal perception of themselves and life.

[1][2] The song's music video was directed by Erik White, and filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina.

[3] "Superhuman" was Brown's seventh video directed by White and was shot back-to-back with Ludacris' "What Them Girls Like" and "Dreamer".

Bill Lamb of Digital Spy said that the song is "sumptuous, dramatic and charged with emotion", complimenting the duo's "silky-smooth" vocal chemistry.

"Superhuman" has also become Brown's 6th Top 20 hit in Ireland, peaking at number 15 on the Irish Singles Chart.
