"When You're In" is a track from Pink Floyd's 1972 album Obscured by Clouds.^[1][2] It is entirely instrumental,^[3] with a repetitive guitar riff repeating until the piece fades out. The title is a reference to a phrase by former Pink Floyd crew member, Chris Adamson, who would respond to when asked about a repair: "I'm in. And when you're in, you're in."^[4]
