'Chains of Love' from Erasure's third studio album The Innocents. It was released in 1988 by Mute Records as the second single from that album. Sire Records released it in the United States as the first single from The Innocents. The album version was produced by Stephen Hague and was slightly remixed for its release as a single (most notably the album version starts cold, while the radio version contains a short synthesizer pattern as an intro).

'Chains of Love' became Erasure's sixth consecutive Top 20 hit on the UK singles chart, peaking at number eleven. In Germany it reached number eighteen. 'Chains of Love' was Erasure's mainstream breakthrough in the United States, climbing to number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the group's first entry on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It also hit number four on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. 'Chains of Love' remains as Erasure's highest-charting U.S. pop hit.
