"In Deep" is the third album by Australian singer Tina Arena released by Columbia Records in Australia on August 25, 1997 (see 1997 in music). Arena states that this album is "international in spirit" and she did not want to make a record that sounded like her previous album, she wanted to make a record that reflected her "growth as a singer, writer, performer and human being." "In Deep" debuted at number-one on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart but sales were not as high as her previous album "Don't Ask" (1994). The album yielded five singles "Burn", "If I Didn't Love You", "Now I Can Dance", "I Want to Know What Love Is" and "If I Was a River".

"In Deep" was recorded in Los Angeles, with production duties divided between Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones (who produced albums for Van Halen and Billy Joel) and David Tyson (who collaborated with Arena on "Don't Ask"). Arena states the album is "essentially a live record", because concerts are what she thrived on.
