"Love, in Itself" is Depeche Mode's ninth U.K. single (released on September 19, 1983), and the final single from the album Construction Time Again.
The "Love, in Itself" singles contain three mixes. "Love, in Itself 2" is the main single edit of the original album version (or "Love, in Itself 1") with a shorter intro and some different samples. "Love, in Itself 3" is the extended mix. "Love, in Itself 4" is an acousting swing version of the song. The B-side is "Fools", and "Fools (Bigger)" is the extended mix. "Fools" is written by Alan Wilder. It became a B-side, because the band really liked the song, but it didn't tie into Construction Time Again political outfit.
The video for "Love, in Itself" was directed by Clive Richardson.
