Mute Records released "Freedom" in the United Kingdom and the single was never released in the United States due to problems with Erasure's then-record company Maverick (the Loveboat album would not see a US release until 2003). The song peaked at number 27 on the UK singles chart and at number eighty in Germany. In Sweden it charted for one week peaking at number 51. It also charted for a week in Germany, appearing at number 80.
