==Production== The song's [[Conclusion (music)#Outro|outro]] contains lyrics referencing the nursery rhyme "[[Rain Rain Go Away]]". Similarities to the song "[[Dig It (Skinny Puppy song)|Dig It]]" from [[Skinny Puppy]]'s 1986 album ''[[Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse]]'' were noted shortly after the single's release.<ref name="Single review (syndicated to multiple papers)">{{cite news |last=Carey |first=Jean |date=19 January 1990 |title=Sound Bites |work=St. Petersburg Times |location=Florida |publisher=[[Times Publishing Company|Times Publishing Co]] |page=17 |quote=Reznor apparently likes Dig It so much that he decided to include the song on his album. Problem is, Reznor has changed the title of the song to Down In It and fails to credit the members of Skinny Puppy as the tune's authors. Yes, the ripoff really is that blatant. |id={{ProQuest|262717500}}}}</ref> Reznor later admitted his original demo version was "a total rip-off."<ref name="Holland interview">{{cite AV media |date=September 1991 |title=Nine Inch Nails performance from {{ill|Ein Abend In Wien|nl}} plus interview with Trent Reznor |lang=nl, en |location=Rotterdam |publisher=[[VPRO]] |type=radio broadcast |quote=The original version I did was about half speed of the one on the record and it was a total rip-off of "Dig It" by Skinny Puppy.
