“Radioactive” is the first single from Marina and the Diamonds' second album Electra Heart.
Marina told NME:
I wrote “Radioactive” in New York in the middle of a heat wave. Introduced to a glittering new nightlife, I fell in love with New York; it has this magic, fizzing white energy that no other...
[Verse 1]
Lying on a fake beach, you'll never get a tan (A tan, a tan, tan)
Baby, I'm gonna leave you drowning
Until you reach for my hand (My hand, my hand, my hand)
[Pre-Chorus]
In the night, your heart is full
And by the morning, empty
(In love, in love, oh-oh-oh)
But, baby, I'm the one who left you
You're not the one who left me
(In love, in love, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus 1]
When you're around me, I'm radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I fear
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
[Verse 2]
Waiting for the nightfall
For my heart to light up
Oh, baby, I want you to die for
For you to die for my love (My love, my love, my love)
[Pre-Chorus]
In the night, your heart is full
And by the morning, empty
(In love, in love, oh-oh-oh)
But, baby, I'm the one who left you
You're not the one who left me
(In love, in love, oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus 2]
When you're around me, I'm radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I fear
Ready to be let down
And now, I’m heading for a meltdown
[Bridge]
Tonight, I feel like neon gold
I take one look at you and I grow cold
And I grow cold
And I grow cold
[Chorus 2]
When you're around me, I'm radioactive
My blood is burning, radioactive
I'm turning radioactive
My blood is radioactive
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I fear
Ready to be let down
And now, I'm heading for a meltdown
[Outro]
My heart is nuclear
Love is all that I fear

On originally not wanting the song on the album:
The main reason is that, sonically, I felt that it didn’t fit. Lyrically, actually, I think it does. So it’s gone on to the Deluxe version. But I felt that there were more important songs to put on the album. Songs that were more significant in relat...
