"The Deeper the Love" is a power ballad by the English hard rock band Whitesnake, taken from their 1989 album Slip of the Tongue.

Coverdale commented on the origins of the song in Slip of the Tongue 20th anniversary edition liner notes by saying:"The Deeper the Love" came from a chorus sequence I'd had for some time, written, if memory serves, in my dear friend Tony Z's house, many years ago... then my little Dutch brother, Adrian, came along and put the musical icing on the cake, and gave me the verse chord sequence.

I finished writing it in Tahiti [...] very early in the morning with the sun rising over the Pacific.

The music video for "The Deeper the Love" was directed by Marty Callner.

It features the band performing on a large stage, with big headlights that also have the Slip of the Tongue album cover on them.
