Song Details
The common single version of "In Your Room", the "Zephyr Mix", is radically different from the original version on the album. The music is completely redone by Butch Vig of Nirvana fame. Other official single remixes include the "Apex Mix", produced by Brian Eno, which sounds closer to the album version, and Johnny Dollar's "The Jeep Rock Mix", which appears on Remixes 81 - 04.
During concerts in 1993 and early 1994, the album version was played live. From the 1998 Singles Tour onwards, the "Zephyr Mix" of the song has been played live instead. However, in Tour of the Universe a mixture of both versions was played live.
The single was released in a special foldout digipak with room to hold three different versions of the "In Your Room" single: the original release (CDBong24), a live disc (LCDBong24) and a remix disc (XLCDBong24). The b-sides consist of a remix of album track "Higher Love", along with some live songs from the Devotional Tour.
Depeche Mode's first appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman", during a stop on their "The Singles Tour", featured them playing "In Your Room.
In 2003, Fallon Bowman's band, Amphibious Assault, covered the song for their debut LP District Six.
