Song information

This section does not cite any sources. (August 2021)

The song was remixed (at the beginning of the released version she says 'remix') after it was completed for the single release. The released version was also on her album Walk of Life rather than the original song. The original song can only be found on the Japanese edition of the album.

While on The Friday Night Project in January 2006, Piper was asked by a member of the audience with the name 'Johnny Quiz' if she regretted releasing a single called "Something Deep Inside". To which she responded, while laughing, "Yes, big time!"

Music video

In the video for "Something Deep Inside", Billie shows a more sexed up image, this also features a new remix of her song. This also gives Billie a more mature image, which she was probably aiming to attract an older audience. A promotional video was also made for the Motiv8 Radio Mix.

The video begins in a small, futuristic luxury apartment where Billie wakes up and looks outside, where it is raining. She clickes on a button on the wall and the room is redecorated with digital-like technology. She then invites some friends (who are Billie's dancers) to her house where they have a dance party. They continue to dance and sing the song until the video ends. There were cut scenes of Billie dancing in the main room while it turns into a tropical rainforest. Cut scenes of Billie in the rainforest itself were seen.
