Lovegod is the second studio album by the Soup Dragons, released in 1990.[7][8] Four songs from the album were released as singles—"Backwards Dog", "Crotch Deep Trash", "Mother Universe" and "I'm Free". The latter, a cover of a Rolling Stones cut from their 1965 album Out of Our Heads, made the top 5 in the UK charts. First pressings did not include "I'm Free", but it was subsequently placed first on the re-release, which also dates to 1990.

The album peaked at No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart.[9] It peaked at No. 88 on the Billboard 200.[10] The video for "I'm Free" made it to the top spot on MTV's most requested list.[8]
