New Inside (song)

"New Inside" is a song by American singer Tiffany, which was released by MCA on August 28, 1990, as the lead single from her third studio album New Inside. The song was written by Phillip Damien and Dennis Cheese, and produced by Damien.

Background
Both "New Inside" and the album of the same name marked a change of musical direction for Tiffany as she moved towards an urban and contemporary R&B sound. In a 2012 interview with The A.V. Club, Tiffany said of the song's message, "Of course, we made it about a love relationship, but the song is really more about busting down walls, changing things, being open-minded, pushing yourself a little bit and being a little 'new inside'."

Critical reception
On its release, Billboard considered "New Inside" to be "astonishingly potent funk-pop" and described Tiffany's vocals as "assured and assertive". Music & Media felt the song was "in the tradition" of Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul and noted the "hard-core dance beat". They added that Tiffany "sound[s] a lot rougher than usual".
