"Special Needs" is a song by English alternative rock band Placebo. It was released as the third single from their fourth studio album, Sleeping with Ghosts, on 15 September 2003. It peaked at No. 27 in the UK Singles Chart.
The music video for "Special Needs" was filmed in a disused swimming pool in Hackney. It alternates between showing the three band members playing the song and featuring a couple, apparently separated, making love to the memory of each other. The female part in the video was played by Caroline Farrington.
All tracks written by Placebo (Steve Hewitt, Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal).
