It is the second Depeche Mode single with Martin Gore on lead vocals, following "Somebody", and the first to be released in its own right. However, the 12" single was released as a double A-side with "A Question of Time" in the United States, like "Somebody".

The single reached number 28 in United Kingdom and number eight in West Germany.


B-sides


The B-side is an instrumental called "Christmas Island", named after the island of the same name. It is penned by both Martin Gore and Alan Wilder and was produced by Depeche Mode themselves. The song was featured in the end credits for the second episode of the Disney+ series, Hawkeye.

The live tracks available on some versions of the single are taken from a 1984 concert in Basel, Switzerland.


Music video


The music video for "A Question of Lust" features the return of director Clive Richardson for his last video with the band. It also became the last music video the band filmed before the arrival of Dutch director Anton Corbijn, who, since August 1986, became a regular collaborator for the band until the mid-2010s.[2]
