"Like an Animal" is the first single by the Glove from their album Blue Sunshine,[2][3] released in 1983 by Wonderland Records/Polydor. The Glove were a side project for Robert Smith of the Cure and Steven Severin of Siouxsie and the Banshees. The song was recorded in 1983 while Smith was also a member of the Banshees.[4] The vocals on the song are provided by Jeanette Landray, a dancer and friend of members of the Banshees.[5]

The lyrics were written by Smith[6][7] and tell the true story of a woman who went mad while living in a US tower block.[8]

The release of the single went largely unnoticed at the time, because both the Cure and the Banshees had recently released their most successful singles to date.[9]
