"You Keep It All In" was the second single from Welcome to the Beautiful South, the band's 1989 debut album on Go! Discs, produced by Mike Hedges. Heaton wrote the words and the music with guitarist Dave Rotheray.
It's a bright, brassy pop song with a sting in it, and the credits are crowded: Gary Barnacle on flute and sax, John Thirkell on trumpet and flugelhorn and Peter Thoms on trombone, with Sean Welch on bass, David Stead on drums, and Pete Wingfield and Mel Wesson on keyboards. It went top ten in Britain and number three in Ireland, and it crossed the Atlantic too, reaching number 19 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks in April 1990.
