Jones recorded his first songs with Starday Records in the living room of Jack Starnes in Beaumont, Texas on January 19, 1954. The fourth recording was "You're in My Heart" a honky-tonk side obviously influenced by some late Hank Williams releases, including "My Heart Would Know." As Rich Kienzle notes in the 1994 Sony retrospective The Essential George Jones: The Spirit of Country, "When [producer] Pappy Daily met George at his second Starday session, he listened as the young man sang like every other singer before imparting the words of wisdom: 'George,' said Daily, 'You've sung like Roy Acuff, Lefty Frizzell, Hank Williams and Bill Monroe. Can you sing like George Jones?'"
The song was the b-side to the very first recording ever cut by George Jones: "No Money in This Deal."
