"Loaded" is a song by Scottish rock band Primal Scream, released on 19 February 1990 as the lead single from their third studio album Screamadelica (1991).

[9][10] Weatherall's first attempt, which he later described as basically just having "slung a kick drum under the original",[10] was judged by the band to have been too reverential to the source material and was rejected.

[10] Gillespie said in 1990 that he views "Loaded" as a dub record which is "closer to the sort of radical reconstructions that Jamaican producers like Joe Gibbs used to do with reggae songs in 1973 or 1974 than anything," adding: "Hopefully people will realise it has a different angle to something the Mondays or the Roses might do.

"[12] The song received over 7,500 advance orders, an achievement credited to its popularity at clubs and raves, rather than airplay or press coverage; as Gillespie said, "It's the first time that anything like that has ever happened to us.

[9] The single features a remix from regular Weatherall collaborator Terry Farley whose version reincorporates part of the original vocal from "I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have".
