"Radioactive" is a song by Welsh recording artist Marina Diamandis, released under the stage name Marina and the Diamonds, from the deluxe version of her second studio album Electra Heart (2012). It was released on 23 September 2011 as the first promotional single from the record;[1] it preceded the premiere of the official lead single "Primadonna" on 20 March 2012.

The song is a Eurodance and dance-pop composition produced by the Norwegian duo Stargate, a marked departure from Diamandis' first album The Family Jewels. Critics praised her change in style and how her vocals and lyrics differentiated the track from other chart songs.[2][3][4][5] The song peaked at number 25 in the UK Singles Chart and 37 in the Irish Singles Chart.
