"Going Backwards" is the second single from Depeche Mode's 14th studio album, "Spirit," which debuted at No. 1 in multiple countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal and Denmark. Proving to be not only a fan but critic favorite, "Spirit" additionally debuted in the top 10 in 15 countries, including coming in at No. 5 in the U.S. and the U.K., all while earning critical acclaim, with Q Magazine calling "Spirit" "the most energized Depeche Mode album in years."
Long celebrated for quality videos as innovative and provocative as the music they make, Depeche Mode also recently released a visual for "Going Backwards." The video, featuring a stripped-back performance of the track, and filmed in 360-degree technology, can be seen online here:

The video was directed by Timothy Saccenti, known for his immersive photographic style, and features Depeche Mode in a stylized, full-scale video experience.
"Spirit" was produced by James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco, and marks the band's first collaboration with Ford (Foals, Florence & The Machine, Arctic Monkeys). It serves as the follow-up to the band's blockbuster 2013 album, "Delta Machine," which debuted at No. 1 in 12 countries.
Depeche Mode is currently supporting the release of "Spirit" with an extensive world tour - "Global Spirit" Tour. The first leg kicked off May 5 in Stockholm, Sweden, and stopped at stadiums in 21 countries across Europe. Depeche Mode will soon embark on the North American leg of "Global Spirit." The 30-show North American run, exclusively promoted by Live Nation, will kick off Aug. 23 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and will stop in 26 cities across the U.S. and Canada wrapping up in Edmonton, Alberta on Oct. 27.
