<h2 id="background-and-recording">Background and recording</h2> <p>In 1992, Madonna founded her own multi-media entertainment company <a href="/facts/Maverick_(entertainment_company)/Ja790UUA">Maverick</a>, consisting of a record company (Maverick Records), a film production company (<a href="/facts/Maverick_Films/00TKcE3E">Maverick Films</a>), and associated music publishing, television broadcasting, book publishing, and merchandising divisions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> The first two projects from the venture were her fifth studio album <i>Erotica</i> and a coffee table book of photographs featuring Madonna, entitled <i><a href="/facts/Sex_(book)/kW4D6qrT">Sex</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> For <i>Erotica</i>, Madonna primarily collaborated with American producer <a href="/facts/Shep_Pettibone/Ug7Eurqd">Shep Pettibone</a>; Pettibone first began working with the singer during the 1980s, providing remixes for several of her singles.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> Pettibone would build the base music of the songs in a style similar to his remixes, while Madonna wrote the melodies and lyrics.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> According to the producer in an article titled "Erotica Diaries", published in Madonna's <i>Icon</i> magazine, he created a tape of three tracks for Madonna to listen to; he traveled to Chicago, where she was filming <i><a href="/facts/A_League_of_Their_Own/lVbb7LCJ">A League of Their Own</a></i> (1992), played the songs for her and she liked all of them.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> In October 1991, Madonna met with Pettibone in <a href="/facts/New_York_City/YlyvFmVC">New York City</a> to start working on <a href="/facts/Demo_(music)/tLBdlyPb">demos</a>. The first batch of songs they worked together on were "<a href="/facts/Erotica_(song)/YFA5WfGa">Erotica</a>", "Deeper and Deeper", "<a href="/facts/Rain_(Madonna_song)/oxezsGhC">Rain</a>" and "Thief of Hearts".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> Anthony Shimkin, who also worked on the album, recalled that Madonna had with her a "book full of lyrics and melody ideas".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p><p>At first, the singer did not like the songs she had recorded. She wanted <i>Erotica</i> to have a raw edge, as if it were recorded in an alley in <a href="/facts/Harlem/AX8IgAxE">Harlem</a>, and not a light glossy production, according to Pettibone.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> In the case of "Deeper and Deeper", the producer revealed that they tried different bridges and changes, but in the end, Madonna wanted the middle of the song to have a <a href="/facts/Flamenco_guitar/AvcNocH0">flamenco guitar</a>, an idea he disagreed with; "I didn't like [...] taking a Philly house song and putting '<a href="/facts/La_Isla_Bonita/pGlSInVh">La Isla Bonita</a>' in the middle of it. But that's what she wanted, so that's what she got", he recalled.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> He later decided to add <a href="/facts/Castanets/c43oXpjM">castanets</a> to "really take it there".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a> According to Shimkin, while they were recording the song, Pettibone began singing some lines of "<a href="/facts/Vogue_(Madonna_song)/a0xKsVI1">Vogue</a>" (1990); Madonna, who heard this and emulated it, liked the sound and decided to keep it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> She later explained: "When we were actually recording, doing the final vocals, I just went off into that for a second because ['Vogue'] to me it's just one of those great kind of feel good dance songs."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="composition-and-lyrics">Composition and lyrics</h2> <p>"Deeper and Deeper" was written by Madonna, Pettibone and Shimkin, and produced by Madonna and Pettibone.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> Recording took place at <a href="/facts/Astoria%2c_Queens/RGQF77UJ">Astoria</a>'s Sound Work Studios; personnel working on the song included Pettibone on the <a href="/facts/Music_sequencer/VhLzSPhr">sequencing</a>, <a href="/facts/Keyboard_instrument/zVUA9QNG">keyboard arrangement</a>, and <a href="/facts/Programming_(music)/xWD7z2z0">programming</a>, alongside Shimkin; <a href="/facts/Paul_Pesco/drV8LyAQ">Paul Pesco</a> on guitars, Dennis Mitchell and Robin Hancock were the song's <a href="/facts/Audio_engineer/eRJkg89Q">recording engineers</a>, while George Karras was the <a href="/facts/Mixing_engineer/yfo8GxrF">mixing engineer</a>.
