}}'''"Down In It"''' was the first single for the 1989 album ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' and the third track on the disc. It has been stated by [[Trent Reznor]] that this song is the first he ever wrote and is a rare treat to hear live. Following the ''[[Down In It (halo)|Down In It]]'' single release, a music video was made.

'''''Running Time: 3:55'''''
*Writing, performance, production, mixing: Trent Reznor
===Down In It (Demo - ''Purest Feeling'')===Appears on ''Purest Feeling'' as the last track, differing from its official counterparts as that it has an extended intro with strange screams and odd static. It also includes about one minute and eight seconds of distorted clippings of the song at the end as a finish to the album. Musically it's extremely close to the "(Demo)" version from the ''Head Like a Hole'' US single. ===Down In It (Demo - ''Demos & Remixes'')===
Appears on the ''Demos & Remixes'' bootleg, running 4:35. Almost exactly the same as the ''Purest Feeling'' version, simply lacking the extra layering and sound effects as well as the distorted outro, though it does retain the extended drumbeat intro.
Appears on the ''Demos & Remixes'' bootleg. It's an odd version with Reznor whispering a good portion of his vocals under an odd beat. It also includes faux-Oriental sounding synths which are noticeably absent in any of the other versions of the song.
