The song was written by band members tim_mcewan and tyler_lyle and produced by McEwan. The saxophone on Deep Blue was performed by jesse_molloy. It has a running time of three minutes and fifty-seven seconds and is in the key of [[WP>B minor|B minor]].
Lyle has said that Deep Blue is a companion song to fire_in_the_sky, describing the songs as "mirror image love stories that swallow our narrator."[5]
During an interview with Magnetic Magazine, the band commented on Deep Blue:[6] <blockquote>
Tim: This was the last track we did for the album. The skeleton of the song was written on tour in spring 2019 for a movie and then later reworked into its current form. When Tyler first sang me those verses, I think we both hi-fived.
Tyler: We’d been approached by the director of a big Hollywood blockbuster type movie who wanted to work with us to create music for the film. While we were on tour in Columbus, Tim and I had an off day and thought that we should use it to work on the music for the film. So we booked a studio, sketched out a demo pretty quickly, then went to Olive Garden to celebrate. Tim totally gutted the original production and instead of a happy, major key, up-tempo celebration of falling in love, it became more ominous, more brooding, and more fun.</blockquote>

Lyrics
I wasn’t looking for action
Just some distraction Just a little weeknight Booth in the back I wasn’t looking for romance Just a quick slow dance On the off chance That an off night And a side glance
Might lead me to the wrong hands
>
I wasn’t looking for you
>
I wasn’t after forever
Just for whatever I was one of the dark hearts Who thought that they’d never Truly be open
But this is an explosion
>
Of star crossed and
Blood rush and Hair tossed and Cheeks flushed
And weeks lost
>
I wasn’t looking for you
>
I said “I’ve never felt my heart like this”
She said “I’ve never felt my body” I always thought the point of love was just
To keep from falling
>
Into the deep blue
>
I wasn’t looking for devotion
Just cheap emotion But I found love, I found love like an ocean On my second whiskey Your eyes try to miss me They lost control
I didn’t know I had a soul until the moment you kissed me
>
I wasn’t looking for you
>
I said “I’ve never felt my heart like this”
She said “I’ve never felt my body” I always thought The point of love was just
To keep from falling
>
Into the deep blue
