"Skin Deep" is arock song originally written in 1986 for Japanese singer-songwriterCINDY by Mark Goldenberg and Jon Lind, then covered by American singer-actressCher for her eighteenth studio album,Cher. It was released as the album's third and final single in mid-1988.

Allmusic's Jose F. Promis later described it as "a club hit with the almost forgotten Madonna-ish dance ditty "Skin Deep" (a radical departure from the album's other songs, yet a definite highlight)."^[3]
