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)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
