Wikipedia article
"'Freedom'" is a song by the British synthpop duo Erasure. It was the first single released from Erasure's ninth studio album, 'Loveboat'. The song was written by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell. "Freedom", as well as the entire 'Loveboat' album, was produced by Flood, and this is the first Flood-produced Erasure single since "The Circus" in 1987.
Mute Records released "Freedom" in the United Kingdom. It was not released in the United States due to problems with Erasure's then-record company Maverick (the 'Loveboat' album did not have a US release until 2003). The song peaked at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart. In Germany, it appeared in the chart for one week at number eighty in Germany. In Sweden, it charted for one week, peaking at number 51.
The song started life as a track called "Real Love". Although, the lyrics are in a quite early stage, there are a lot of resemblances to the final version.
