"Freelove" is Depeche Mode's thirty-eighth UK single, released on November 5, 2001 in the UK and December 11th in the US. It is the third single for the album Exciter.

David Gahan prior to Exciter called it the best song he's ever sung since "Condemnation".

The single version of "Freelove" is completely remixed from the album version. The mix was done by Flood, who produced the albums Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion. Flood's return is quite surprising, because he previously wanted to never work with Depeche Mode again after the nerve-racking experience of recording of the latter album, during which the whole band was in-fighting with each other.

The B-side is an instrumental called "Zenstation".

There is also a DVD release of "Freelove", a first for Depeche Mode. It contained video footage of "Freelove" from the Philadelphia concert in 2001, as well as audio of some of the other songs. It also contained four bonus 30-second videos of the band. The videos were directed by Anton Corbijn.

The main music video for "Freelove" was directed by John Hillcoat. It is not available on a public release.
