Billy Corgan has said the song was dedicated to his then-girlfriend Yelena Yemchuk. He explained, "'Stand Inside Your Love' is one of those rare songs that seems to write itself really quickly… As far as the song goes, it's sort of a love song that rocks, which is pretty rare, even for me. And I even got my girlfriend dancing in the video, so it's all a tribute to my girlfriend, I guess." At the VH1 Storytellers, Corgan would call it the only "true" love song he's ever written, adding that the lyrics began with the line "Who wouldn't stand inside your love?" and through a "stream of consciousness" wrote the remaining lyrics in about 10 minutes.
"Stand Inside Your Love" was initially conceived to be similar to the new wave style of the band's earlier hit "1979"; however, Corgan opted for what he considered "the classic Pumpkins sound".
The single contains one B-side, "Speed Kills", which appears in a shortened form on the vinyl and import CD versions of Machina, and in a heavier incarnation on the band's following album Machina II.
The single cover of "Stand Inside Your Love" was designed by @fishtower and is primarily a depiction of the alchemical androgyne, one of the most significant symbolic representations within alchemy, and, on its most basic level, represents the perfect union between man and woman when joined as a single entity. Atop their head is a single crown, known to the Kabbalists as Kether, the source of all creation, and the first Sephiroth on the Tree of Life.
"Stand Inside Your Love" peaked at #2 on the US Alternative chart, #4 in Italy, and in the top 50 in at least six other countries. It has been performed over 525 times according to SPCodex records, most recently at the 2023 World Is A Vampire festivals in Australia.
