## Single by Jon Bellion

"**Stupid Deep**" is a song by Jon Bellion, released as the third single and fourth track from his second studio album, *Glory Sound Prep*, on November 2, 2018. The acoustic version was released on June 7, 2019. The official music video premiered March 21, 2019, directed by Daniel Brown.

## Background

Those who pre-ordered the album instantly received the track, along with "Conversations with My Wife" and "JT."

In a *Genius* annotation, Bellion said, "Once that first stanza was written, I was like, there's nothing else for me to say. [In the behind the scenes video], I'm just looking at these lyrics, like, 'Yo, is this my life? Has everything I've ever done been because I have a giant gap in my heart that I need attention and love from people?' Like, damn, it's seems like such a simple equation, but is that what everybody's doing? If we just threw that down and said hello to people… I know people feel this way, but they don't wanna talk about it. We're too busy. We don't have a moment, and the second we do have a moment? We have to go do something else 'cause we don't even like ourselves. We're not taking the time to be like, 'How are you? How are you doing?' We just don't wanna do it. My heart hurts, too. I want people to love me, too, and sometimes I don't feel that love. I get self conscious, I get this, I get that, but we don't take the time to explain that to people."

**Lyrics**
[Chorus]

What if who I hoped to be was always me?

And the love I fought to feel was always free?

What if all the things I've done, yeah

Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah

'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep

Stupid deep

[Verse]

What if where I've tried to go was always here?

And the path I've tried to cut was always clear?

Why has life become a plan, yeah

To put some money in my hand?

When the love I really need is stupid cheap

Stupid cheap

[Chorus]

What if who I hoped to be was always me?

And the love I fought to feel was always free?

What if all the things I've done

Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah

'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep

Oh, stupid deep

[Chorus]

What if who I hoped to be was always me?

And the love I fought to feel was always free?

What if all the things I've done (What if all the things I've done)

Were just attempts at earning love?

But the hole inside my heart is stupid deep

Oh, stupid deep

[Outro]

Deep

[Verse]

What if where I've tried to go was always here?

And the path I've tried to cut was always clear?

Why has life become a plan, yeah

To put some money in my hand?

[Chorus]

What if who I hoped to be was always me?

And the love I fought to feel was always free?

[Bridge]

Ba, ba-da, ba-da-ba

Ba, ba-da, ba-da-ba

Ba, ba-da, ba-da-ba

Ba, ba-da, ba-da-ba

[Chorus]

What if who I hoped to be was always me? (Come on)

And the love I fought to feel was always free? (Uh)

What if all the things I've done (What if all things I've done)

Were just attempts at earning love? (Just attempts at earning love)

'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep, oh, stupid deep

[Outro]

Deep
