"'Deep Inside of You'" is a song by American rock band Third Eye Blind from their second studio album, 'Blue' (1999). It was released as the fourth and final single from the album on July 11, 2000, by Elektra Records. According to frontman Stephan Jenkins, the song is about "suicidal tendencies". The song received positive reviews from music critics. The song peaked at number 69 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100.
Background and release
"Deep Inside of You" was written solely by frontman Stephan Jenkins. Jenkins explained that the song was written about "life's messier moments", commenting that he was inspired by the same woman who had inspired him to write the band's debut studio album, 'Third Eye Blind' (1997). Despite the song's inclusion on 'Blue' (1999) and eventual single release, guitarist Kevin Cadogan strongly objected to the commercial release of the song in addition to "Never Let You Go".
The song was released as a single on July 11, 2000. Following the scrapping of 'Symphony of Decay', an extended play that was intended to be a companion to 'Blue', "Deep Inside of You" was included on Third Eye Blind's first greatest hits album, 'A Collection' (2006).[http://www.allmusic.com/album/a-collection-mw0000433390 "A Collection - Third Eye Blind"]. allmusic.com.
