"A Pain That I'm Used To" is the second single and opening track of the album Playing the Angel by Depeche Mode, and the forty-second DM single overall. The single was released on 12 December 2005 by Mute Records. The single contains remixes by UK Mute label mates Goldfrapp, and Jacques Lu Cont (Stuart Price).
Although "Better Days" was mentioned to be the B-Side for the single in its press release, it ended up being a track called "Newborn" when the tracklists were released. "Better Days" went on to be the B-side to the following single, "Suffer Well." "Newborn" is a slow song that transforms into a harder song during the chorus. It is a fan-favorite in terms of B-sides.
The single was only physically released in the UK. The US only had a digital release (ie, iTunes). The song reached #15 upon UK release.
In the US, the song debuted at #45 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on 14 January, 2006. It has since reached #6.
The music video is directed by Uwe Flade, who also directed the "Precious" single. It features much more live action sequences (in a race track), than the "Precious" video and even David Gahan's "Bottle Living" video.
The song was added to Xfm London's playlist.
