"Inside Out" is a song recorded by the GermanEurodance band Culture Beat, released in November 1995 as the first single from their third studio album, Inside Out. As for other Culture Beat singles, a CD maxi entirely composed of remixes was added among the available media a short time after. The song was a hit in most of the European countries where it was released, and peaked at number 5 in Germany, its highest position in the various charts. Outside Europe, it peaked at number 2 on the RPMdance music chart in Canada and number 15 on the BillboardHot Dance Club Play chart in the US.
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "Chill out with the original Eurodance stars. A cuddly track chugging along at moderate speed combines with a sonorous male rap that makes it a sure EHR hit."[1] They added, "Dance freaks and club DJ's can delight in no less than 11 remixes. Still, it's the Not Loveland Master Radio Edit 1 which is most suitable for radio. The spooky male voice half way through this otherwise happy uptempo beat adds an unusual touch."[2]James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "bland slick Euro throbber".[3]
