"A Question of Time" is Depeche Mode's seventeenth UK single, released on August 11, 1986, following the similarly titled "A Question of Lust" single.

The 7" remix of "A Question of Time" might be more different from its album version than most other Depeche Mode singles, similar to Strangelove, Behind the Wheel, In Your Room and Freelove. The once industrial song became a dance track.

There is no new track for a B-Side (the first Depeche Mode single, other than the Double A-Side "Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody" with this dubious honor), just a remix of "Black Celebration" and various live tracks.

The New Town Remix directly floats into the Live Remix on the limited 12" single with no pause.

The music video for "A Question of Time" is the first DM video to be directed by Anton Corbijn and brought forth a big relationship with him and the band which still lasts to this day. It was included on the Strange video and The Videos 86-98.
