Humanoid is the third German studio album and the second English studio album by German band Tokio Hotel. The album was recorded in both German and English with both versions set for a simultaneous worldwide release bearing the same title, Humanoid. The German version of the album was released on October 2, 2009 in Germany and other European countries, while the English version was released in the United States on October 6, 2009. The first single, "Automatisch" was released on September 18, 2009, and "Automatic" was released on September 22, 2009 in the US. The album title, Humanoid, is a word derived from science fiction which means ‘human like’. Producer David Jost had explained the reasoning behind the album title to an interview with MTV: "This word is pronounced differently in the English and German language but is written the same way in both languages. Bill wanted the new record to have only one name worldwide: Humanoid."
