"Butterfly" is a song by English singer, songwriter and musician Lloyd Cole, released in 1991 as the third and final single from his second studio album, Don't Get Weird on Me Babe.
Polydor chose Adam Peters who, in turn, created a near seven-minute version of the track titled "The Planet Ann Charlotte Mix", which was included on the 12-inch and CD formats of the single.
[6][8] Upon its release as a single, John Mulvey of NME felt that, on "Butterfly", Cole "practises his hard bastard fantasies while an orchestra swirls and broods behind him" and added that he come across "not half as mean as he hopes, of course, but still effectively sullen".
Mulvey felt that Adam Peters' "Planet Ann Charlotte Mix" was "a failure, but a noble one", commenting that he "tries to pull off an 'Unfinished Sympathy'-style coup by adding a techno pulse and a soulful female vocal to all the strings and surly suffering".
[10] Diana Valois of The Morning Call noted its "strong drum beat" and "Chris Isaak-meets-Marc Almond sense of romantic surrealism".
