X is Australian rock band INXS's seventh studio album, released on 25 September 1990. The title, the Roman numeral for "10", represents the band's tenth year since their debut album was released in 1980.
The band worked again with producer Chris Thomas at the Rhinoceros studio in Sydney, Australia, with rehearsals beginning in November 1989. Sticking to the formula that was built on Kick, Thomas urged primary songwriters Andrew Farriss and Hutchence to advance their song writing strengths on X. Some songs that appear on X were written years earlier, including "Lately" and "Disappear"; Andrew originally wrote the lyrics for "Lately" during the recording sessions for Listen Like Thieves, while Hutchence and Jon Farriss both wrote the lyrics for "Disappear" when they were living in Hong Kong during 1989. Hutchence and Jon also wrote the composition for "Faith in Each Other" and "Deepest Red" (studio outtake) during the sessions for X. Thomas assisted in writing the composition for the album's third single "By My Side", along with Hutchence and Andrew. The song's original demo is titled "Dark of Night" and can be found on the 2002 remaster; Andrew wrote the song for his wife, Shelly.
