"Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" is a song by American singer, songwriter and actress Julee Cruise, released in 1990 as the second single from her debut album, Floating into the Night (1989). It was released on Warner Bros. Records. Cruise performs the song in "Episode 14" of American mystery serial drama television series Twin Peaks, the long-anticipated episode of the show in which the killer of Laura Palmer was finally revealed after a year of anxious, media-driven anticipation. Cruise also sings "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" in Industrial Symphony No. 1, another David Lynch project.

The song is in the dream pop genre, with jazzy flourishes.[1] Angelo Badalamenti composed the music and David Lynch wrote the lyrics.

Critical reception

Andrew Mueller from Melody Maker named "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" Single of the Week, adding, "So she's runner-up this time. This languid sub-doo-wop finger-clicker is nary a patch on the magisterial "Falling", but it is nonetheless floating-away gorgeous and punctuated by a relatively wild saxophone blat in the middle and Julee's voice is still like drowning in a velvet-lined bath full of honey and pineapple jelly. You get the idea."[2] Terry Staunton from NME wrote, "Fingers crossed, Julee Cruise will still be knocking about years after Twin Peaks has been consigned to the studio vaults. This is probably the most immediate and commercial track on the Floating into the Night LP, a Connie Francis love ballad punctuated by a Roxy Music sax solo. Whether Cruise sticks with David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti in the future remains to be seen, although I'd like to hear the Pet Shop Boys knock out a few tunes for her."[3]
