Our Little Secret is the third studio album from Belgian electronic band Lords of Acid. It was released in 1997 on Antler-Subway Records. Both musically and lyrically, Lords of Acid maintain the industrial music and sexually charged songs found on their previous album Voodoo-U. Lead vocal duties on Our Little Secret were performed by Jade 4 U. The front CD cover is a photo of a woman from the waist up, while the unfolded CD cover booklet is the completed full-body photograph which reveals an outline of a penis in her blue jeans.
Displaying the band's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor, the back cover of the album presented Our Little Secret as a live recording of a classical music concert, as presented by "The Lords of Acid Orchestra". The song titles are presented with faux, intentionally pretentious parentheticals pertaining to classical pieces.[3]
Our Little Secret was the first Lords of Acid album to hit the U.S. Billboard 200, peaking at number 100. As was the case with their Lust and Voodoo-U albums, Our Little Secret was re-issued in 2001 as a "Stript" version, which removed all vocals. The album features one of their most recognizable hits, "Pussy".[4][5][6]
