Song Description:
The intro immediately draws you into the song with a dramatic melody sounding as if it were straight out of a classic black and white film with captions instead of voices. Its transition into a more poppy and dance beat is a tasty surprise and Steele’s high pitches during the chorus mixed with the melody of the laid back feel allows you to get a feel for the song as she sings. The track is riddled with funky, R&B-inspired beats, fun and catchy lyrics, and her sweet as sugar voice. There is a blend of Keyboards, Guitar, and Bass which really tunes in to the Pop sound. In the song, she sings about the fear guys have when it comes to giving their love away to someone, as if they have been hurt before. She, however, ensures the guy she will not hurt him and uses the metaphor of 'Putting your heart on the line' as a gamble. She encourages him to 'Put all of his chips in', referring to giving her his trust, which are the stakes, and she will make sure that he wins no matter what. In the bridge, she persuades him to give her a shot while singing with a light and raspy voice, one could say it's quite sultry and sexy. She wraps up the song with the singing of the chorus and then towards the ending, slowly emphasizing the guy can never lose with her around. Steele's genius usage of the infamous statement turns an ordinary love song into an amazing Pop tune.
Songwriter's Comments:
Writing and recording this track was a whole lot of fun for me and its pretty much one of my favorites from my collection of songs. I first began writing it after talking to one of my good friends about her relationship and so the idea came to me that I should write a song about taking a risk for love. At first I was playing around with it a bit, trying to consider different aspects of it, and after that I just sorta put it away with the rest of my unfinished songs. It actually wasn't until later when I met up with Sunny Monroe that the song was pulled out again. She had asked me if I had written any new material, as she wanted it to be something personal that I could relate to. I told her about the song that I had written but that it was unfinished. She of course, intrigued, wanted to see it so I went searching for it through my phone, I like to write my lyrics on my phone a lot, and showed it to her. Sunny took one look at it and said how it was good but that it could be better. I laughed and agreed cause I knew that she was right, the song certainly could be better. So we set through an all night songwriting session and the rest was history. Now 'Heart On The Line' is complete and I'm ready to share it with all of my fans. I think that people will like it because it's a topic that hits home for most people, especially for teenagers, plus it makes for a great summertime anthem.
“Heart On The Line”
[Verse 1 ]
I know that love's got you running
It's like a drug but you don't want it
But I can promise to you
It's nothing like, like before
Don't write me off listen what I'm saying
I know that you are tired of complaining
Put down your guard, I'm playing all my cards tonight
[Chorus]
Put your chips all in
With me you'll always win
And now the stakes are high
Cus you're putting your heart on the line
There is no shame in trying
All the love I'm supplying
The limit is the sky
When you're putting your heart
Putting your heart on the line
Oohh oohh
Oohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oohh oohh oohh
[Verse 2]
They say love is a big gamble
But I know with me you can handle
Anything you want
We're taking a chance on us
You don't like that it can be risky
L-O-V-E can be real tricky
Put down your guard, I'm playing all my cards tonight
[Chorus]
Put your chips all in
With me you'll always win
And now the stakes are high
Cus you're putting your heart on the line
There is no shame in trying
All the love I'm supplying
The limit is the sky
When you're putting your heart
Putting your heart on the line
Oohh oohh
Oohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oohh oohh oohh
[Bridge]
You said you're through, you said you're through
But baby give it one more shot
You said you're through, you said you're through
But baby give it one more shot
You said you're through, you said you're through
But baby give it one more shot
You said you're through, you said you're through
You said you're through, you said you're through
[Chorus]
Put your chips all in
With me you'll always win
And now the stakes are high
Cus you're putting your heart on the line
There is no shame in trying
All the love I'm supplying
The limit is the sky
When you're putting your heart
Putting your heart on the line
Put your chips all in
With me you'll always win
And now the stakes are high
Cus you're putting your heart on the line
There is no shame in trying
All the love I'm supplying
The limit is the sky
When you're putting your heart
Putting your heart on the line
Oohh oohh
Oohh oh oh oh oh oh
Oohh oohh oohh
You're putting your heart on the line
Put your chips all in, with me you'll always win
When you're putting your heart on the line
