Personal Jesus was inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley, it was the first hit from the album, reaching #13 on the UK Singles Chart.
According to songwriter Martin Gore: "It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody's heart is like a god in some way, and that's not a very balanced view of someone, is it?"
In 2004, "Personal Jesus" was ranked #368 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time,and in September 2006 it was voted as one of the "100 Greatest Songs Ever" in Q magazine.
