"Victims" was a single from UK band Culture Club's album Colour by Numbers, released in 1983. Although previous single "Karma Chameleon" had been a huge hit single in many countries, Victims only charted in the UK and Germany. It peaked at #3 on the UK singles chart, two places lower than "Karma Chameleon" when it entered the charts.

The single was not released in countries like United States, Canada and Japan, where they released Miss Me Blind instead.

Its B-Side was the then unreleased track "Colour by Numbers", which is the title of the album but not included on it. An instrumental version was also issued on the 12", re-named "Romance Revisited". Both extra tracks are now available on the 2003 remastered version of Colour by Numbers

Boy George re-recorded the song himself, now as a solo artist, in a folk arrangement and with his older voice, in 2002. That version can be found on the Culture Club boxset that was out the same year.
