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).[1] 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 in August 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).[2] The song was also included on the soundtrack to the 2000 American comedy film Me, Myself & Irene.[3]

gollark: It is, unfortunately, hard (for practical and ethical reasons) to really field-test them, but you can do simulations of some things.
gollark: It's reasonable and good to think abstractly about the pros and cons of different social/political/economic systems so we can consider which ones might be better in various ways.
gollark: What are you meant to do, just go "hmm, yes, let's just hope it all works out magically".
gollark: You can totally somewhat advance plan political stuff.
gollark: I mean, they centrally plan some stuff, but the majority of resource allocation is marketized.
