Billy Corgan called "Stand Inside Your Love" the only true love song he'd ever written, and it's the brightest, most open-hearted thing on the Smashing Pumpkins' MACHINA/the machines of God. He wrote it for his girlfriend at the time, Yelena Yemchuk, said it came together unusually fast, and even got her dancing in the video. It was the album's second single in the US and the first everywhere else.
Corgan first imagined it along the new wave lines of "1979", then went instead for what he called the classic Pumpkins sound: a surging, glossy guitar wall with his voice riding high on top. He produced it with Flood, and Alan Moulder joined the two of them on the mix. The single's only B-side was "Speed Kills".
