Dave Gahan told Sony Music Ireland:
Depeche Mode state in the Heaven EPK and the Delta Machine EPK:
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
"'Heaven' is one of the reasons why I still make music. Once in a while a song like that comes along - hopefully I'll write one of those myself one day - that's something I have to sing. It feels like I'm putting on a pair of boots that I’ve worn for years, that I love. It fits. It's the linchpin of the album."
Dave Gahan: "Of all the incredible songs that Martin has written over the years that I have been lucky enough to sing and perform, once in a while a song comes along - hopefully I'll write one of those myself one day - that's something I have to sing. It's something I want to sing. It feels like I'm putting on a pair of boots that I've worn for years, that I love. It fits. As soon as I heard that song he had played me the demo, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. There's no other song like it on the record. That was one song from this record that I knew that this was gonna be the linchpin to this session. Everything has got to be as good as this. To me, 'Heaven' is one of the reasons why I still make music."
 
Andy: "'Heaven' is interesting, because Martin really cracked it with this 'Heaven'. Pretty much, apart from Dave's voice instead of Martin's voice, the actual finished song is pretty similar [to the demo]."
 
Martin: "'Heaven' was written on a piano. I had all the chords and everything all worked out on the piano and the whole vocal melody and the lyrics worked out before I went anywhere near a computer."
