Interesting facts and trivia about Love You Inside Out. By Songfacts®.

When the Bee Gees made songs for the Saturday Night Fever movie in 1977, many of them were about dancing, as the film centered around the nightclub scene, but most of their hits before and after had to do with matters of the heart. In "Love You Inside Out," they're pleading to a lover, letting her know that her cheating is ripping them apart. It shouldn't be so bad, but they fall in love hard, backwards and forwards with their hearts hanging out.

This song came at the end of a phenomenal run of hits for the Bee Gees. It went to #1 in America on June 9, 1979 as disco was facing a backlash. Bee Gees songs had inundated the airwaves over the previous year; not just their own, but songs they wrote for others, like "Shadow Dancing" for their brother, Andy Gibb. "Love You Inside Out" was the nexus where sentiment turned against them. Their next songs struggled to get airplay and ranked low on the charts. After the reckoning, they reinvented themselves by writing songs for other artists that were still welcome on radio.

Some of the chart milestones for this song: It was the Bee Gees' sixth consecutive American #1, which at the time equaled The Beatles record. It was also the ninth American chart topper for the group, at the time tying them with Paul McCartney for fourth place on the list of artists with the most #1s. The Top 3 at the time were: The Beatles (20), Elvis Presley (17), and Diana Ross & The Supremes (12). It was the third consecutive #1 pulled from the Spirits Having Flown album. As their previous album, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, also had three consecutive #1 singles, the Bee Gees became the first act to pull three consecutive #1 singles from each of two successive albums. "Love You Inside Out" was also their fifth single to sell over 2 million copies.
