Recorded at Santa Barbara Sound Design and originally released on 12 December 2005, A Pain That I’m Used To is the 42nd single by Depeche Mode (and their 35th in the US). As it was only commercially issued on physical formats in Europe, the North American market had to make do with digital releases of A Pain That I’m Used To.
