"So Into You" is a song performed by Canadian singer Tamia, recorded for her self-titled debut album Tamia (1998). It was written by Tamia, Tim Kelley, Bob Robinson, Lionel Richie and Ronald LaPread and produced by Tim & Bob. "So Into You" is a mid-tempo R&B song with lyrics describing the protagonist's feelings of love for her partner. The song uses a modified sample from The Commodores single "Say Yeah" (1978). The song was noted for Tamia using a more restrained and seductive singing technique, at the time unheard of on her previously released material.

"So Into You" was released as the third single from Tamia on June 23, 1998. The song became an R&B hit, peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song's music video was created by Harvey White and premiered on American TV in June 1998. It reached the top ten on BET's video countdown and received a Directorial Debut of the Year nomination at the MVPA Awards. Since its release, "So Into You" has often been performed on Tamia's concerts and tours, including The Verizon Ladies First Tour in 2004 and the Single Ladies Tour in 2012. In 2003, American rapper Fabolous sampled the song in his "Into You", with Tamia performing its hook. In 2016, Australian EDM duo Odd Mob along with vocalist Starley covered the song. The cover spent 7 weeks at number one on the ARIA Club Tracks chart.

In the early 1990s, Canadian singer Tamia was offered a record contract with Quincy Jones' Qwest Records and shortly thereafter started work on her debut album. While recording the album several singles with Tamia as a featured performer were released, all gaining attention. Her debut single "You Put a Move on My Heart", "Slow Jams" (performed with Babyface, Portrait and Barry White) and "Missing You" (performed with Brandy Norwood, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight) all earned Grammy Award nominations, making Tamia one of the most anticipated new R&B singers in the US. The publicity increased the expectations on Tamia's self-titled debut album Tamia which was released in April 1998. The album was precieded by its lead single "Imagination", which peaked at number 12 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and "Falling for You" which was released as the album's second single in Japan only. "So Into You" was released as the album's third single on June 23, 1998.
