'''"Freedom"''' is a song by British [[synth pop]] duo [[Erasure]]. It was the first single released from Erasure's ninth studio album ''[[Loveboat (Erasure)|Loveboat]]''. The track was written by [[Vince Clarke]] and [[Andy Bell (singer)|Andy Bell]]. "Freedom" (as well as the entire ''Loveboat'' album) was produced by [[Flood (producer)|Flood]], and this is the first Flood-produced Erasure single since "[[The Circus (song)|The Circus]]" in 1987.
[[Mute Records]] released "Freedom" in the UK and the single was never released in the United States due to problems with Erasure's then-record company [[Maverick Records|Maverick]] (the ''Loveboat'' album would not see a U.S. release until 2003). The song peaked at number twenty-seven on the [[UK singles chart]] and at number eighty in [[Germany]].
