"Standing in the Shadow" is a song by the English hard rock band Whitesnake from their 1984 album Slide It In. It was written by singer David Coverdale.
While it does not have a music video, it was released as a single by Liberty Records with the B-Side American version of "All or Nothing." The single only charted No. 62 in the UK Singles chart and stayed for three weeks.
The song was re-recorded and remixed by Keith Olsen, who happened to remixed the American version of "Slide It In" and later the band's 1987 self-titled album.
The song, known as "Standing in the Shadows" appeared on the second track of the 1987 single, "Is This Love" in the EMI single version. It was also included in the EP demo version of their multi-million-selling album, known as "1987 Versions" only made exclusive to Japan by the band's backing label, CBS/Sony.
The song then subsequently appeared on the 2017 reissue of the self-titled album in retrospect of the album's 30th anniversary.
