Crash is the fifth full-length studio album released by English synthpop band The Human League. At the time of its recording, the Human League was following up a flop album (Hysteria) and key songwriter Jo Callis left the band. Finding themselves in creative stagnation, the Human League made the unusual choice to have Minneapolis-based duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produce them. Jam and Lewis had recently become in-demand producers due to their massive success with Janet Jackson's Control album.

In addition to producing Crash, Jam and Lewis wrote three of the ten tracks. One of the Jam and Lewis compositions, "Human", was released as the album's first single and became the Human League's second number-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Follow-up single "I Need Your Loving" and UK-only release "Love Is All That Matters" were not as successful, but the album succeeded in bringing the Human League back to mainstream prominence five years after their Dare! album.

In 2005 Crash was re-issued with extended versions of the three singles.

  1. "Money" (Burden, Oakey, Russell)
  2. "Swang" (Eiland)
  3. "Human" (Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis)
  4. "Jam" (Oakey, Russell)
  5. "Are You Ever Coming Back?" (Oakey, Russell, Wright)
  6. "I Need Your Loving" (Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Davis, Eiland, Richey, Williams)
  7. "Party" (Burden, Oakey, Russell)
  8. "Love on the Run" (Burden, Oakey, Russell)
  9. "The Real Thing" (Burden, Fellows, Oakey, Russell)
  10. "Love Is All That Matters" (Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis)
  11. "Human" (extended version)
  12. "I Need Your Loving" (extended version)
  13. "Love Is All That Matters" (extended version)
