A riff-driven synth-pop song, "Just Can't Get Enough" was the final single to be written by founding member Vince Clarke, who left the band in November 1981.
Vince Clarke told Rolling Stone magazine in 2000 that the Spandau Ballet song "To Cut a Long Story Short" inspired him to write "Just Can't Get Enough".
The 12-inch single featured a "Schizo mix", which is an extended version with additional synth parts adding a sinister feel to the track.
Upon its release, Smash Hits reviewer Tim De Lisle found the song "A less memorable but sound enough follow-up to "New Life"; well executed and good for dancing.
"[6] Record World said that "music box synthesizers toy with a catchy melody line and a chorus chants the title over and over again while a tape-recorded rhythm track provides the dance beat.
The exterior scenes in the video are filmed at the Southbank Centre that is, the undercroft and a now demolished stairway at the eastern corner of the Royal Festival Hall.

The Schizo mix live version recorded at the London Hammersmith Odeon on 25 October 1982, featured on the 1983 "Love, in Itself" 12″ single, became a hit in the Netherlands and Belgium in its own right in 1985.
However, it gave the Saturdays their highest chart placing at the time, outpeaking and outselling the original track, plus it marked their fourth consecutive top ten hit in the UK.

Depeche Mode's Andy Fletcher, in spite of being a supporter of rival club Chelsea, praised the creativeness of the Liverpool fans who adopted the song.
