"Pain" is a Eurodance song by German band Fun Factory, released in November 1994 as the fourth and last single from their debut-album, NonStop (1994). It peaked at number eight in Finland, number 24 in Germany and number 25 in Austria and Sweden. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 56 in March 1995. Outside Europe, it peaked at number 30 in Israel. The CD single also featured the music video of the band's previous hit single, "Take Your Chance".

Critical reception[edit]

James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described the song as an "instantly familiar cliches packed but powerful cheesy Euro galloper".[1]

Music video[edit]

A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by R.T. Firefly. It was later published on Fun Factory's official YouTube channel in November 2015.[2]
