"Superman's Dead" was the first single from Our Lady Peace to be released off of their second album Clumsy. This has become one of Our Lady Peace's most popular songs in both Canada and the U.S., and even many other parts of the world. This song has become the definitive example of Our Lady Peace's staple sound - the main highlight being vocalist Raine Maida's powerful, yet controllable voice. This song, in contrast to other songs on the album, is a very heavy song, especially in comparison to songs like "Automatic Flowers" and "Clumsy".

Three music videos have been made for this video - the Canadian version of the child trapped in the box, the U.S. version which featured an unusual array of characters including clowns and goblins, and another U.S. version which simply showed the band playing the song. It is interesting to note that in the U.S. music videos, Raine Maida is shown playing the guitar in some parts, while the original Canadian version did not.
