The song was probably the album's strongest dance number and it came as little surprise when it was released as the second single from ''Erotica'' in late 1992; the song went top ten on both sides of the Atlantic, peaking at #7 on the ''[[Billboard]]'' [[Hot 100]] and #6 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] (not to mention topping the ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' dance charts). Some of the lyrics in the song mimic the [[Barry White]] hit, "[[I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby]]". There is also a reference to her 1990 number-one hit "[[Vogue (song)|Vogue]]". In the [[United Kingdom]], a tabloid backlash began which would last for most of 1993 and the song ended a five year run of top five hits. Many fans have argued that had Madonna changed her overtly sexual image and released "Deeper and Deeper" as the lead-off single from the album, the whole ''Erotica'' project may have seen more commercial success. Madonna performed "Deeper And Deeper" on her 1993 [[The Girlie Show Tour]].
The song has been [[remix]]ed by [[Shep Pettibone]] who both co-wrote and produced the track with [[David Morales]]. Some of their remixes feature use of the [[pitch shift]]. In Pettibone's "Classic 12" version, when Madonna sings "pretend", the "tend", which echoes at the same pitch in the original, is lowered quite a few octaves, raised to normal for a few seconds, and is raised to an almost child-like pitch for about 3 or 4 seconds before going to the final line. In Morales' club mix, after she sings, "never gonna hide it again", the pitch in "deep" is alternated between the original and a slightly lowered version for nearly 32 seconds. In the dub version ("David's Love Dub"), Madonna's heavily-phased "deeper and deeper" is at normal pitch for the first 15 seconds of the song, then gets lowered an octave until the bass starts a few seconds later; however, you can barely understand her, because the loop's phased quality distorts her words quite a lot. The song was "Re-Invented" on her [[Re-Invention Tour]]. The song was a slow-cut jazz version with trumpets playing, and an up-right bass.
== Music video ==
The music video was shot on [[November 7]]-[[November 8|8]], [[1992]] at [[Ren-Mar Studios]] and The Roxbury nightclub in [[Hollywood, California]] and directed by Bobby Woods (who was also an executive producer at Madonna's company, Boy Toy Inc.). It is an ode to [[Andy Warhol]], shot in near identical style to many of his films. In the video Madonna plays [[Edie Sedgwick]]. At the time of its release few understood the homage of the video, and it remains one of Madonna's most alluring videos (she did not include it in her [[1999]] video compilation ''[[The Video Collection 93:99]])''.
Madonna's good friend and actress [[Debi Mazar]] makes a cameo in the video, as well as Academy-Award winning film director and screenwriter [[Sofia Coppola]], and the actor [[Udo Kier]], who had appeared in the Andy Warhol films [[Flesh for Frankenstein]] and [[Blood for Dracula]]. There is also a brief cameo of [[Sandra Bernhard]].
