"Crucified" is a song by Swedish band Army of Lovers, released as the first single from their second album, Massive Luxury Overdose (1991). It was released in Sweden in May 1991. The song was written by bandmembers Alexander Bard and Jean-Pierre Barda with Anders Wollbeck, and features Barda (vocals, drums), Bard (vocals, computer), and La Camilla (vocals, bass).
It was successful in several European countries, including Belgium, where it reached the number one spot, as well as Germany, Sweden, Spain, Austria and Switzerland, where it reached the top 10. In the United States, "Crucified" became a huge club hit and radio favorite, debuting at number six on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart and spending a total of 14 weeks in the top 20. The initial remixes available on the CD maxi and vinyl 12-inch maxi are by Nuzak. The track samples the drum break from James Brown's Funky Drummer.
In 2013, Army of Lovers made a new version of the song titled "Crucified 2013". It contains new vocals from Camilla Henemark, and then a second version with new vocals from Dominika Peczynski was issued. Kurt Cobain of the alternative rock group Nirvana praised the band in his posthumously published journals, specifically the song "Crucified."
