"Freelove"
Song
B-side"Zenstation"

"Freelove" is a song by English electronic group Depeche Mode. It was released in November 2001 as the third single from their album Exciter.

Lead singer Dave Gahan prior to Exciter called it the best song he's ever sung since "Condemnation".

The single version of "Freelove" is completely remixed from the album version. The mix was done by Flood, who produced the albums Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion. Flood's return is quite surprising, as he previously wanted to never work with the band again after the strenuous experience of recording Songs of Faith and Devotion, during which the band was in-fighting with each other.

The B-side is an instrumental called "Zenstation".

There is also a DVD release of "Freelove", a first for Depeche Mode. It contained video footage of "Freelove" from the Philadelphia concert in 2001, as well as audio of some of the other songs. It also contained four bonus 30-second videos of the band. The videos were directed by Anton Corbijn.

Music video

The main music video for "Freelove" was directed by John Hillcoat. It was not available on a public release prior to Video Singles Collection (2016).
