Alcazarized is the second studio album by Swedish dance group Alcazar. It was released on 6 May 2003 in Sweden, in Europe on 2 August 2004 and in Japan on 20 October 2004, in separate editions, each with a slightly different track listing.

Release

The third single, "Someday", was made as an official song for the 2003 Stockholm Pride festival, which took place from 30 July to 3 August.[4][5]

"Here I Am" had appeared on Alcazarized, and was used in the promotion of the greatest hits compilation Dancefloor Deluxe, and was released around Christmas 2004. The track failed to make a big impact on the charts, peaking at number 40 in Sweden. However, in neighbouring Finland, it proved much more popular, climbing to number 6 on the Finnish singles chart. The single contains French and Spanish versions of the track, as well as remixes from Groovetemplate, FL and Mark Jason among others.
