"Crucified" is a 1991 song recorded by the Swedish band Army of Lovers. It is the first single from their second album Massive Luxury Overdose and the seventh single of the band. It was released from May 1991 (in Sweden) to February 1992 (in France). A re-edition that features on Massive Luxury Overdose (US Version) was made in 1992, and became a huge hit there. "Crucified" is probably the most known song of Army of Lovers.

It was recorded by Jean-Pierre Barda (vocals, drums), Alexander Bard (vocals, computer) and La Camilla (vocals, bass) who also feature in the videoclip. The two remixes available on the CD maxi and 12" maxi are made by Nuzak.

The song achieved a great success in several European countries, including Sweden, Austria and Switzerland, where it managed to reach the top 10. It even reached the number 1 spot in Belgium[1], and also in Finland where it charted 13 weeks on the Top-20.
