"'''Just Can't Get Enough'''" is a song by English [[electronic music]] band [[Depeche Mode]]. It was their third single, released on 7 September 1981, a month before the release of their debut studio album, ''[[Speak & Spell (album)|Speak & Spell]]''. It was recorded during the summer of that year at [[Blackwing Studios]], and was the band's first single to be released in the United States, on 18 February 1982. A [[riff]]-driven [[synth-pop]] song, "Just Can't Get Enough" was the final single to be written by founding member [[Vince Clarke]], who left the band in December 1981.

==Background and recording==
Depeche Mode had released two singles up to this point, "[[Dreaming of Me]]" and "[[New Life (song)|New Life]]", which had reached numbers 57 and 11 on the UK singles charts, respectively, when they were released in early- and mid-1981.{{sfn|Burmeister|Lange|2017|p=33}}<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bernhardt |first1=Tonia |title=Depeche Mode: A Band, Its Music, and the Cult |date=2007-11-21 |publisher=GRIN Verlag |isbn=978-3-638-76757-6 |page=3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uLrdaz3MoB8C&dq=new+life+depeche+mode+single&pg=PA3 |access-date=29 May 2021 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Christopher |first1=Michael |title=Depeche Mode FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the World's Finest Synth-Pop Band |date=2020-12-28 |publisher=[[Rowman & Littlefield]] |isbn=978-1-4930-5400-8 |page=5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UKgKEAAAQBAJ&dq=new+life+depeche+mode+single&pg=PA5 |access-date=29 May 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

Vince Clarke told ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine in 2000 that [[Spandau Ballet]]'s "[[To Cut a Long Story Short]]" inspired him to write "Just Can't Get Enough". He admitted, "Up to that point, I didn't like dance music or disco at all." Upon hearing the Spandau Ballet song, however, he said, "It was the first time I was actually impressed by a rhythm that went 'boom-thwack, boom-thwack, boom-thwack.' It was the first time I discovered dance music for myself, and to write a song around that rhythm was quite a revelation for me. 'Just Can't Get Enough' came out of that."<ref name = "Depeche">{{cite magazine|author= <!--Not stated--> |title= 69: Depeche Mode – 'Just Can't Get Enough' |magazine= [[Rolling Stone]] |issue= 855|date= 7 December 2000 |page= 97}}</ref>

"Just Can't Get Enough" was recorded at [[Blackwing Studios]], where Depeche Mode had recorded all their singles up to this point.{{sfn|Burmeister|Lange|2017|pp=22–32}}

==Release==
"Just Can't Get Enough" was released in the UK by Mute Records on 7 September 1981,{{sfn|Miller|2009|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=8dlapcBLwu0C&pg=PT135 135]}} on 7" and 12" vinyl, with catalogue numbers 7MUTE016 and 12MUTE016.{{sfn|Burmeister|Lange|2017|pp=30}} The 7" single was also released in Spain by [[RCA Records]] and Brazil by Fermata Records.{{sfn|Burmeister|Lange|2017|pp=31}}

The single's [[B-side]], "Any Second Now", was the first commercially available Depeche Mode instrumental. It is included on the UK re-release of ''Speak & Spell''. A version including vocals (the first Depeche Mode vocals to be handled by [[Martin Gore]]) appeared on the album as "Any Second Now (Voices)". There is also an extended version, the "altered" mix. In the United States, the B-side is "Tora! Tora! Tora!". On the album, "Tora! Tora! Tora!" is crossfaded with the previous track, "Photographic", but on the single, the introduction is clean.{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}

==Commercial performance==
The single reached number 8 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] and number 26 on the US [[Dance Club Songs|Hot Dance Club Play]] chart, making it their highest-charting single at the time on both counts. It also became the band's first (and biggest) hit in [[Australian Singles Chart|Australia]], reaching number 4. A live version became a top ten hit in the Netherlands and Belgium in 1985. The success of the single, and its predecessors, convinced band members [[Dave Gahan]] to quit school and [[Martin Gore]] and [[Andy Fletcher (musician)|Andrew Fletcher]] to quit their day jobs, so they could all focus on the future of the band.{{sfn|Burmeister|Lange|2017|pp=30}}

==Critical reception==
Upon its release, ''[[Smash Hits]]'' reviewer Tim De Lisle found the song "A less memorable but sound enough follow-up to "New Life"; well executed and good for dancing."<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Singles |author=De Lisle, Tim |magazine=Smash Hits |date=17 September 1981 |page=28 }}</ref> 
 
''[[Record World]]'' said that "music box synthesizers toy with a catchy melody line and a chorus chants the title over and over again while a tape-recorded rhythm track provides the dance beat."<ref name=rw>{{cite magazine|magazine=Record World|date=March 6, 1982|page=8|accessdate=2023-03-02|title=Single Picks|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Record-World/80s/82/Record-World-1982-03-06.pdf}}</ref>

==Music video==
The "Just Can't Get Enough" video, directed by Clive Richardson, was the band's first, and is the only video by the band to feature [[Vince Clarke]].{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}

The exterior scenes in the video are filmed at the [[Southbank Centre]] that is, the undercroft and a now demolished stairway at the eastern corner of the [[Royal Festival Hall]].{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}

==Live versions==
A live version recorded at the London [[Hammersmith Odeon]] on 25 October 1982 was featured on the 1983 "[[Love, in Itself]]" 12″ single.{{sfn|Burmeister|Lange|2017|pp=49–66}} It was never released as a single A-side, but was played extensively on [[Radio Veronica]] by various DJs and entered the Dutch and Belgian charts, making the Top 10 (even though the "Love, in Itself" 12″ officially did not qualify for the singles chart, as it was labelled a [[mini-album]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.legacyofmusic.com/2019/06/30/classic-single-depeche-mode-s-just-can|title=Classic Single: Depeche Mode's Just Can't Get Enough (Live)|language=nl|access-date=29 May 2022|archive-date=16 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516125315/https://www.legacyofmusic.com/2019/06/30/classic-single-depeche-mode-s-just-can|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The song was also included in the 1989 live album ''[[101 (album)|101]]'', recorded on the band's Music for the Masses Tour in 1988.

In 2009, the song was adapted as a football chant by fans of [[Celtic F.C.]], specifically the [[Green Brigade]] fans.<ref name="goal">{{cite web|url= http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2011/04/22/2453151/depeche-mode-keyboard-player-andy-fletcher-delighted-with |title= Depeche Mode keyboard player Andy Fletcher delighted with 'Just Can't Get Enough' chants at Celtic and Liverpool |last=Duchateau |first= Francois |date=22 April 2011 |publisher= Goal.com |access-date= 20 July 2013}}</ref>

In an interview with football website Goal.com, Depeche Mode keyboardist [[Andy Fletcher (musician)|Andy Fletcher]] commented on the use of the song by Celtic fans: "We feel honoured that the Celtic faithful are chanting our songs and are touched by it. The best thing is that they know the entire lyrics."<ref name="goal"/>

The football chant was also sung by Thai children from the Good Child Foundation also known as the Thai Tims, made up of children with [[Down syndrome]]. The song had been taught to them by Reamonn Gormley, a young Celtic youth team player and avid Celtic fan from the Scottish town of [[Blantyre, South Lanarkshire|Blantyre]] who had gone to Thailand as a volunteer English language teacher for Good Child Foundation and would use English songs to teach English to them, including, amongst others, Celtic chants. In February 2011, after returning to Blantyre, Gormley was stabbed to death at the age of 19. The Thai Tims' videotaped tribute version of "Just Can't Get Enough" went [[viral video|viral]].<ref>{{YouTube|ljBbMJhEyPc|Videotaped version by the Thai Tims of "Just Can't Get Enough"}}</ref> In memory of Reamonn Gormley, Celtic FC and Celtic Charity Fund released it as a charity single on 8 May 2011<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.justcantgetenough.co.uk/|title=Out Promotion – National Radio & TV PR // Regional Radio|access-date=2 November 2019|archive-date=27 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190127004326/http://www.justcantgetenough.co.uk/|url-status=dead}}</ref> with proceeds going to the Good Child Foundation in Thailand and Crime Stoppers in Scotland.{{cn|date=November 2022}} It reached number 30 on the [[Official Charts Company|UK Singles Chart]] and number two on the [[Scottish Singles Chart]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/scottish-singles-chart/20110515/41/|title=Official Scottish Singles Sales Chart Top 100 |publisher=Official Charts Company|access-date=2 November 2019}}</ref>

As it grew in popularity, the song was adapted by fans of other football teams including [[EFL Championship|English Championship]] side [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] in January 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.clarets-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/clarets_fans_just_cant_get_enough_624074/index.shtml |title= Clarets' fans Just Can't Get Enough |author= Tony Scholes |work= Clarets-mad.co.uk |access-date= 20 July 2013}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=November 2022}} Also, in February 2011, [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] supporters adopted the song as a tribute and encouragement for the club's new Uruguayan attacker [[Luis Suárez]]. Depeche Mode's [[Andy Fletcher (musician)|Andy Fletcher]], in spite of being a supporter of rival club [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], praised the creativeness of the Liverpool fans who adopted the song. Fletcher said that bandmate [[Dave Gahan]] also followed Chelsea, while [[Martin Gore]] is a fan of [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref name="goal"/>

The song was also played by [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] for their former manager [[Steve Cooper (footballer, born 1979)|Steve Cooper]] after a home win at the [[City Ground]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carruthers |first=Ed |date=2022-02-10 |title=Nottingham Forest supporters sneak speaker into Ewood park and blast out ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ |url=https://www.givemesport.com/87971362-forest-fan-sneaks-speaker-into-ewood-park-and-blast-out-just-cant-get-enough/ |access-date=2023-05-15 |website=GiveMeSport |language=en}}</ref>

"Just Can't Get Enough" was covered by English-Irish [[girl group]] [[the Saturdays]]. It was one of the official [[Comic Relief]] singles for 2009.

===Chart performance===
On 8 March 2009, the song entered the [[UK Singles Chart]] at number two, where it peaked, being beaten by [[Flo Rida]]'s "[[Right Round]]" after being at number one in the midweek count, thus being the first Comic Relief single not to chart at number one in 14 years. However, it gave the Saturdays their highest chart placing at the time, outpeaking and outselling the original track, plus it marked their fourth consecutive top ten hit in the UK. The success of this single was later matched by "[[Forever Is Over]]" and beaten by "[[What About Us (The Saturdays song)|What About Us]]". In Scotland, the song reached number one for a week, becoming their highest-charting single on that chart alongside "What About Us". In 2010, it received a Silver certification from the [[British Phonographic Industry|BPI]] for sales exceeding 200,000 copies.

===Music video===
The music video premiered on [[MSN]] on 9 February 2009. The video shows each girl singing in a mock-'50s pin-up calendar and uses a different edit of the song, known as the "video mix", than the single version. It was directed by Harvey B-Brown.
