"Freelove" is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 5 November 2001 as the third single from the band's tenth studio album, Exciter (2001). "Freelove" reached No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart. The single version, which was produced by Flood, is different than the album version, with a shorter running time and an additional drum track. The B-side is an instrumental called "Zenstation". There is also a DVD release of "Freelove", a first for Depeche Mode. It contains video footage of "Freelove" from the Philadelphia concert in 2001, audio of other songs performed at the concert, and four bonus 30-second videos of the band. The videos were directed by Anton Corbijn.
Music video
The music video for "Freelove" was directed by John Hillcoat and filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana in July 2001 while the group was on tour in the United States.[2] The video features Depeche Mode performing on a parade float riding through a poor neighborhood. The impoverished residents follow the float and climb on it to dance. The video ends with the float and everybody disappearing, except for two people kissing. It has never been made available on a public release until the Video Singles Collection (2016).
