[edit] The Sound
"In My Pocket" was a mix of techno beats with a Middle Eastern sound; the song was slightly more mature than other Mandy Moore songs. The lyrics were spoken in almost a whisper, "Among the many muted faces, You try to find me in the spaces, You’re drawn to my song, You only move to keep from sinking, You close your eyes as if you're thinking..." Though not a big hit, it did however give Mandy Moore her own identity in the sea of Pop Queens that were in the music scene in that era.
[edit] The Video
The video was directed by Matthew Rolston. Was a color Middle Eastern styled video. The video had bellydancers, fire blowers, and male dancers. Mandy set on a throne and watched almost as if she was royalty. The video was also shot in a night club.
[edit] Pennies In My Pocket
A modified version of the song - Pennies In My Pocket - was featured in the 2006 film Miami Vice (film). The track has little in the way of lyrics; only the chorus is vocalised in the foreground by Emilio Estefan with a mixture of English and Spanish. A guitar was used to replace the verse lyrics. This track is featured on the movie's CD soundtrack. Coincidentally, Mandy Moore spent her childhood in Florida, where the events of Miami Vice naturally take place.
[edit] Chart Success
The song was poised to be a huge hit for Moore in the United States. However, it only reached number eight on the ARC charts in May and completely missed the Billboard Hot 100 but still charted in the "Bubbling Under Hot 100 Tracks at number forty. This was due to its limited airplay on the radio. However, the song performed fairly well in the eastern hemisphere, in countries like Australia where it reached number eleven on the charts.
