"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]]. ==Track listings== ===12" single #1 (12MUTE244)=== # "Freedom" (Quake Vocal Remake) # "Freedom" (Untidy Dub) ===12" single #2 (L12MUTE244)=== # "Freedom" (MARK's Guitar Vocal) # "Freedom" (MARK's Jail Term Dub) ===CD single #1 (CDMUTE244)=== # "Freedom" # "Better" # "Freedom" (Acoustic Version) ===CD single #2 (LCDMUTE244)=== # "Freedom" ([[Steve Rodway|Motiv8]] Radio Mix) # "Freedom" (JC's Freedom of Flight Remix) # "Freedom" ([[Mark Picchiotti|MARK]]'s Guitar Vocal) {{Erasure}} [[Category:2000 singles]] [[Category:Erasure songs]]
