Background and release
edit"Deep in Love" was written by Tom Boxer and J Warner — the latter of whom provides guest vocals — while production was solely handled by Boxer.[1] Boxer composed the song in 2011 in Morocco; while she and Morena were driving to a show there by car, he came up with a melody and recorded a demo on his mobile phone.[2] Work on "Deep in Love" was completed in four months, and the vocals were mixed at a studio in London.[3]
Lyrics from the love song include "I'm from Venus, you're from Mars/When we're together, we create stars", on which Morena elaborated during an interview, saying that it describes two persons that share a special connection and love, "creat[ing] stars [...] high up in the sky". Boxer stated that he "[likes] to put some message" in his material, and that the aforementioned lyrics were inspired by the popular paradigm that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.[2]
