I'm in You is the hit title song released by Peter Frampton as a single from his album I'm in You released in 1977. It rose to #2 on the US singles chart, becoming his most successful single.

Writing and recording

"I'm in You" was written by Peter Frampton after returning to New York from touring to record his live album Frampton Comes Alive! in 1976.

The song is about Frampton being recently separated from his first wife, the model Mary Lovett.

The song was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. Frampton demanded that bodyguards keep overzealous fans from disturbing his recording sessions.

This title song is mostly a keyboard driven number, featuring background vocals from Mick Jagger, with the sound of a Baldwin Piano, Moog Synthesizer, ARP String Synthesizer, Gibson Les Paul, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Percussion, and Vocals.

Frank Zappa ridiculed this track in the song "I Have Been in You" and in the monologue "Is That Guy Kidding or What?".
