"Precious" is Depeche Mode's forty-first single, and the first single from the album Playing the Angel. It was released on October 2005. The single reached #4 in the UK, #71 on the Hot 100, and #23 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Although the meaning of almost all of Depeche Mode's songs are not revealed (because Martin Gore prefers people to find their own meanings for each song) he made an exception with "Precious," revealing that the song is written about his children and what they must have been going through when he was getting a divorce from their mother.
