[2] [3] "In the End" is also featured in Depeche Mode's concert documentary film Depeche Mode: M , released on 5 December 2025. [4]

Reception

Tom Breihan of Stereogum described "In the End" as "a throbbing goth-pop meditation on the temporary nature of live." [5] Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan stated: "A rumination of mortality, 'In the End' is a pretty terrific Depeche Mode song, all midtempo mood as they sing 'We're weightless / Floating endlessly / We'll be dust again / In the end' over layers and layers of very cool-sounding synths." [6]
