"Inside Out" is a song by British singer and songwriter Shara Nelson, released in November 1993 on Cooltempo Records as the third single from her first solo album, What Silence Knows (1993).

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote, "Easily the most outstanding track from her album, "Inside Out" goes back to basics featuring just her voice accompanied by a pedal steel guitar, both swathed in echo as if playing in an empty hall.

"[2] Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five and named it "one of the classiest tracks" on the album.

He noted that it has been remixed for the single by Frankie Knuckles, "who has fleshed out the sparse production of the original to create a lush downtempo soul shuffler".

"[3] Nilou Panahpour from Rolling Stones said that the song, "on which Nelson is accompanied by a spare solo guitar, is the record's most moving track because of its starkness.
