"She Keeps Me Warm" is a song written and performed by Mary Lambert, derived from the chorus she provided to "Same Love". [79] [80] It is included on Lambert's debut major-label EP, Welcome to the Age of My Body (2013), and was released to American hot adult contemporary radio in the summer of 2013 as her first solo single. [80]

Background and content

"She Keeps Me Warm" (and the chorus it shares with "Same Love") was inspired by Lambert's experiences with love and growing up homosexual in a religious family. Lambert explained to Entertainment Tonight at the 56th Grammy Awards that the song came about as a result of her wanting to write a song that was "genuine and authentic to [her] experience". [81] While written from the particular perspective of a lesbian, the song's themes of love and security in relationships have a universal appeal, which contributed to its warm reception on pop radio. [80] Chad Rufer, PD of KZZO Sacramento, suggested to Billboard that the original version "has more of a political stance than Lambert's" and that the re-worked "She Keeps Me Warm" is "simply a great pop song about falling in love." [80]

Music video

The music video for "She Keeps Me Warm" was directed by Mego Lin and premiered on VEVO on August 24, 2013. [82] It features Bryn Santillan. [83] An official lyric video was released December 17, 2013 in support of the song's parent EP. [84]

Chart performance

"She Keeps Me Warm" debuted at number 38 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart for the week ending January 25, 2014. [80]
