"Truly Madly Deeply" is a 1995 song by Australian pop band Savage Garden, released as a single in 1997. Written by bandmates Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones, the song is a reworking of an older song of theirs called "Magical Kisses" and was the third single from their self-titled debut album. The song is considered to be the best song throughout the run of the duo.

There were two videos made for "Truly Madly Deeply". One of them was filmed in the Sacré-Cœur area of Paris, said to be the most romantic city in the world. It was directed by Adolfo Doring.

The Japanese release, available elsewhere on import, was actually a special, album-length disc comprising 14 rare tracks, featuring three versions of the title song, along with three bonus remixes, six rare B-sides and two acoustic live versions.

There is two distinct versions of the song. One was released on the Australian album release, whereas the other version was on the US release. This version composed in 1996 features a drum-machine track instead of the more acoustic-sounding music in the Australian version. The US version also featured on their 2005 greatest hits, Truly Madly Compeletely.

In 1998 it was the main song from the soundtrack of the movie Music from Another Room, starring Jude Law and Gretchen Mol.

The song was a major and sustained success in the U.S. beginning in 1997. Entering the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart at #26 on December 6, 1997, it peaked at #1 for two weeks in January 1998 and lingered for a full year on the chart. It hit #1 on the BillboardHot 100 Airplay chart and #2 on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart. It also went Top 10 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart.

On the BillboardTop 40 Mainstream chart the song hit number one for one week on January 31 before dropping to number two as Celine Dion assumed the top spot with the theme to the hit film Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On". Savage Garden's single held at #2 for ten weeks, before returning to the number one spot again the week of April 18.

Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" set a record for the most weeks of any single in history on the U.S. Hot Adult Contemporary chart. In 1998 the song logged eleven weeks at number one on this chart, but its full chart span lasted 123 weeks. That record would stand for just under two years, when another ballad spent its 124th week on that chart. That song was Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You", from the album Affirmation.

After leaving the main Adult Contemporary chart, the song entered the Hot Adult Contemporary Recurrents chart where it charted for another 202 weeks. The song was so popular that it re-entered Billboard'sHot Singles Sales chart in March 2002 and—four and a half years after its release—again became a U.S. Top 30 bestseller, remaining on that chart until late July 2002. Savage Garden's original version logged its final week on the Hot Adult Contemporary Recurrents chart on June 17, 2006.

The song also reached #1 in their home country of Australia and in Canada. Savage Garden's single hit #2 in Norway, Sweden, Austria and Ireland and went Top Ten in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK, where it peaked at #4.

In 1998, the song was certified a Gold single in France, for sales of 200,000 copies.

In May 2001 the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), as part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, named "Truly Madly Deeply" as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time.

In 2008, Savage Garden's single was listed at #30 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.[2]

The song was covered in 1998 by Brazilian brother-sister singing duo Sandy & Junior. The Portuguese-language version, "No Fundo Do Coração", was released as the third single from the teens' eighth album, Era Uma Vez (Ao Vivo). The album was certified Triple Platinum in Brazil in 1999 by the Brazilian Association of Discs Producers (ABPD) for sales of over 300,000 copies in Brazil alone. The album was their last for PolyGram Records before moving to Universal Music Group.

German Eurotrance group Cascada covered "Truly Madly Deeply" on the album Everytime We Touchand released it as the second single in the UK and Germany. Although the album version of the song is a ballad, there is also a trance version of the song more in keeping with their typical style, which is the main single version. Both versions are featured on the UK edition of the album. First released in the U.S. exclusively in the iTunes store on February 27, the U.S. physical release was March 13, 2007.
