The song also reached number 20 on the Billboard Pop 100 component chart, where it charted for nine weeks. However, it debuted at number two on the chart's extension, Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, on June 12, 2001. In the United States, the single received minor success, failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Opening to mixed reviews from music critics, "In My Pocket" instantly entered the top 30 in Australia and New Zealand.

"In My Pocket" is a dance-pop and teen pop, with a Middle Eastern sound the song was notably more mature than Moore's past material, and was an entirely different approach for her as an artist at the time. The teen pop song takes influences from pop rock genres and was written by Randall Barlow, Emilio Estefan, Liza Quintana, and Gian Marco Zignago. It was released on May 29, 2001, by Epic Records as the lead single from the record. Moore married Taylor Goldsmith from indie band The Dawes in 2018."In My Pocket" is a song by American recording artist Mandy Moore for her self-titled third studio album. Moore later slammed his apology in a television interview, saying "I find it curious he would make a public apology but not do it privately". "You feel like there’s no way other people have been treated like this." "What you experience with him - the treatment, the destructive, manic sort of back and forth behaviour - feels so exclusive. "He would always tell me, 'You’re not a real musician, because you don’t play an instrument'. “His controlling behaviour essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time, my entire mid-to-late 20s,” Moore shared. In an article with The New York Times, Moore revealed Adams was “psychologically abusive” and belittled her. After writing songs together, she said Adams would “replace her with other female artists” when it came time to recording. Moore claimed her ex-husband took control of her music career in 2010, three years after they first met. She said he "discouraged" her from working with other producers and managers.
