"Deeper" is the second single from Delirious?'s debut album, King Of Fools, on which it is the second track. It is one of the band's most famous songs and, along with "History Maker", almost universally represented King Of Fools in live setlists until 2005. It remains the band's best-selling single (although not their highest chart position).
It was first released as a single on 5 May1997. Rather surprisingly, given its minimal mainstream airplay, it reached #20 on the UK Singles Charts in the week of its release, dropping to #39 in the second week. In total, it sold over 30,000 copies.

DeEPer EP re-release
The single was also released on 3 November1997 as an EP, titled the "DeEPer EP". Once more, the single performed relatively well, reaching #36 in its first week. This was the first (and, to date, only) time the same recording of the same song by the same artist had been released twice in the same year with both releases reaching the top 40.[citation needed]
