"Melt!" is a song written, produced and recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1982. It was released as the second and final single from the band's fifth album A Kiss in the Dreamhouse.
The album (and this single) was representative of Siouxsie & the Banshees more elaborate and experimental musical direction at the time. The gothic rock overtones of the song were accentuated by a lush string section. The sensual lyrics of "Melt!" compare an intense sexual interlude with a lover to dying. Its lyrics can also allude to a S&M encounter ("...Handcuffed in lace and blood and sperm / Swimming in poison / Gasping in the fragrance / Sweat carves a screenplay / of discipline and devotion...").
Released in late 1982, "Melt!" peaked at number forty-nine in the UK singles chart.
