Background
"Deeper and Deeper" was written by Madonna, Shep Pettibone and Anthony Shimkin. It was released as the second single from Erotica in late 1992. The song was released on vinyl as a 12" maxi single in the US and Germany, and as a 12" picture disc in the UK. A 7" single was also released in Germany and the UK. A collectible 2 vinyl disc set was released in the US, in a full colour sleeve as a promo containing exclusive remixes.
The line "When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything" is a reference to the song "Do-Re-Mi" from the musical The Sound of Music. Slant Magazine listed "Deeper and Deeper" as number 36 on the "Best Singles of the '90s" list.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
