"Enjoy the Silence" is a song by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode. Written by Martin Gore and recorded in 1989, it was released as the second single from their seventh studio album, Violator (1990), on 5 February 1990 by Mute Records. The song topped the charts of Denmark and Spain and is the band's highest-charting single in the United States, peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. It won an award in the category of Best British Single at the Brit Awards 1991. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Anton Corbijn and references The Little Prince from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. In the video, Dave Gahan appears, dressed as a king, wandering in the hillsides with a deck chair.

"Enjoy the Silence" was re-released as a single in 2004 for the Depeche Mode remix project Remixes 81–04, and was titled "Enjoy the Silence (Reinterpreted)" or, more simply, "Enjoy the Silence 04".
