Information about the piece

How Deep Is Your Love by British-Australian band The Bee Gees first appeared on their 1977 disco album titled Saturday Night Fever, which served as the soundtrack for a film of the same name. The song was an instant hit and became one of the most recognisable of the Bee Gees' repertoire.

Written by all three of the Bee Gees members - Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, How Deep Is Your Love was conceived as a ballad about longing and commitment. Barry Gibb stated in a 2001 interview that it took them just an hour and a half to compose this song. The song was thought to capture the sound of the late 1970s and is still highly regarded for its multi-dimensional concept of love.

Musically speaking, How Deep Is Your Love represents a soft, melodious blend of R&B and pop. Some of the defining aspects of the song include:

• Significant use of the falsetto singing style, a trademark of the Bee Gees.
• A rhythmic and light feeling dictated by acoustic guitar strums.
• Subtle but powerful harmonies that underscore the song's emotional depth.

This song brought the Bee Gees phenomenal success, reaching the number 1 slot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and remaining there for three weeks. It has since been covered by various artists in diverse genres - proof of its enduring popularity and universal appeal.
