Background

The song was written by Martin L. Gore and Richard Butler. The track was recorded during sessions for their 2023 studio album Memento Mori . This is one of the four bonus tracks not included in the original album. The others are "Survive", "Life 2.0", and "Give Yourself to Me". [2] "In the End" is also featured in the Depeche Mode's new concert documentary film titled Depeche Mode: M released on 5 June 2025. [3]

Reception

Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote: "It's called "In The End," and it's not a Linkin Park cover, though I bet that would honestly be pretty lit. Instead, it's a throbbing goth-pop meditation on the temporary nature of live." [4] 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." [5]
