Just Can't Get Enough

Just Can't Get Enough is the title of a song recorded by British group Depeche Mode and first released as their third single in September 1981 as the the follow-up to their first chart hit New Life. It became their first UK Top 10 single, peaking no.8 in October. The song featured as the final track on the band's debut album Speak & Spell, released shortly afterwards.

The song was written by band member Vince Clarke although it would be his last single with the group.

Just Can't Get Enough has become one of the group's best known songs, and has been regularly performed live during the group's career. 

Single release
The single was released ahead of the band's debut album Speak & Spell, entering the UK Top 40 at no.24 (third highest new entry) on 22 September 1981, after debuting on the charts at no.44 the week after its release.

The B-side, Any Second Now, also written by Clarke, was the group's first officially released instrumental track. It later surfaced on the Speak & Spell album with a vocal sung by Martin Gore, and re-titled Any Second Now (Voices).

Both tracks were remixed for the 12" release, a fairly uncommon practice at the time.
