Debut single 'When The Night Is Cold' was released in 1988. This song was not to be on debut album 'Disco Extravaganza' released in 1990 (re-named 'Army of Lovers when released in USA & UK in 1991). This was followed by the album 'Massive Luxury Overdose' (1991). La Camilla left the band and released a single 'I Am Not In The Mood For Lovers'. The Group replaced La Camilla with Michaela De La Cour, they re-released 'Massive Luxury Overdose' with extra tracks & with De La Cour on the new album artwork.
In 1992 the band came a four piece when Dominika joined the group and they recorded 'Hasta Manana' for the Abba tribute album.
Albums 'The Gods of Earth and Heaven' (1993) and 'Glory, Glamour & Gold'(1994) followed. The group dis-banded at the end of 1995. They re-formed to release 'Les Greatest Hits' in 1996, De La Cour did not want to be in the group anymore so original member La Camilla was asked back and she returned to record 4 new songs with the group. The Group split again in 1996.
In 2001 Army of Lovers reformed again (again with La Camilla) to release another Greatest Hits album (this time with 3 new tracks - all cover versions of other artist songs). The 2001 album was called 'Le Grand Docu-soap'.
Alexander Bard went on to be in BWO (Bodies Without Organs) and later in Gravitonas
In 2013 Army of Lovers was reformed once again in Melodifestivalen. The Swedish pre selection for Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Rockin’ the ride"
12 years after their last compilation album "Le Grand Docu-Soap", the reunited Swedish theatro-pop group releases a brand new greatest hits collection, plus 4 brand new songs ("Rockin' the ride", "Crashing down", "Signed on my tattoo" and "Tragedy"). Army of Lovers have always been special, controversial, colourful and creative, mainly due to their image and witty pop songs.
Their name alludes to a documentary Armee der Liebenden oder Revolte der Perversen (Army of Lovers or Revolution of the Perverts) about Rosa von Praunheim, which in turn alludes to the Theban Band.

Libertй, йgalitй, sexualitй
[Verse:]
Love was such a sweet surprise,
Sneaking like a thief into my heart.
Love was such a sweet surprise,
Bending my knees.
Suddenly the quick demice,
Everything I loved was torn apart.
Suddenly the quick demice,
Guilty as plead.
[Pre-Chorus:]
Don’t you see your Gemini was never closed at hand
Don’t you see our destiny was never in your command.
[Chorus:]
I don’t wanna lie, tears I can’t defy
Can’t you see our love came crashing down?
We were meant to be, that’s no guarantee,
Can’t you see our love came crashing down?
[Verse:]
Wipe that smile upon your face,
Don’t you see the break can’t be disguised?
Wipe that smile upon your face,
What’s left to revise?
[Pre-Chorus:]
Don’t you see your Gemini was never closed at hand
Don’t you see our destiny was never in your command.
[Chorus:]
I don’t wanna lie, tears I can’t defy
Can’t you see our love came crashing down?
We were meant to be, that’s no guarantee,
Can’t you see our love came crashing down?
Love came crashing down, love came crashing down.

The lyrics of "Crashing Down" by Army of Lovers convey a story of a love that was unexpected yet sweet, but ultimately leads to heartbreak and disappointment. The song opens with a play on the French national motto and introduces the theme of sexual expression. The first verse describes how love sneaked its way into the singer's heart and how it seemed to bring joy and happiness before leading to a sudden and unexpected end. The chorus is a declaration of the aftermath of the heartbreak, with the singer asserting that the tears cannot be denied and their love came crashing down.
The second verse offers a call to the other person to wipe away their smile and recognize that they cannot hide or disguise the truth of their situation, as the pre-chorus emphasizes that their destiny was never in anyone's control, and the chorus repeats the message that their love was not guaranteed to survive. The song ends by repeating the French national motto and the final words of the chorus.
Overall, "Crashing Down" is a song about a love that was fleeting and ultimately destroyed, leaving the singers feeling helpless and heartbroken.
