"Universal" is a song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released as the second and last single from their album Universal.

The single peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart. This version differs from the original, adding the female singers to the beginning and editing out the lengthy introduction of the album version. It was edited by Pete Lewis. Like the previous single "Walking on the Milky Way", it was released on CD and cassette formats but not on 7" or 12" vinyl.

"Universal" would remain OMD's final single for over a decade until the band's reunion.

Reception

Music Week scored the single 5/5, writing, "Once again Andy McCluskey displays his immense talent for writing perfect pop songs on this epic track that stands out on a very strong album."[1]
