Made Me Do It^[4] (also known as The Haunted Made Me Do It) is the second studio album by Swedish heavy metal band The Haunted, released on 31 October 2000. It was re-released in 2001 with the live album Live Rounds in Tokyo^[5] as a bonus CD.

The title was meant as a statement against censorship. The cover is a collage of serial killers, which was added "to emphasize the title" and because the band thought they were "fascinating characters" that fit the album's concept. The songs were written with input from all band members.^[6]
