The track was written by Grammer and R3HAB along with Jake Torrey, Johnny Simpson and Jon Levine.
Acclaimed multi-platinum pop singer and songwriter Andy Grammer released a new version of his song with multi-platinum DJ/producer R3HAB, "Saved My Life (R3HAB VIP Remix)" via S-Curve/Hollywood Records on Friday, September 30. With nearly 20MM streams on the original version, "Saved My Life (R3HAB VIP Remix)" offers fans an updated, electronic take on the hit song by Grammer and his collaborator R3HAB.
Written by Grammer and R3HAB along with Jake Torrey, Johnny Simpson and Jon Levine, "Saved My Life" was inspired by Grammer's Godmother Leigh, who was his major support system following the passing of his mother in 2009 following her battle with breast cancer. She stepped up and helped him navigate the enormous loss and he felt that she ultimately saved his life by filling that motherly void.
"Leigh was my mom's best friend," Grammer said. "'Saved My Life' is dedicated to her because she truly stepped in when I needed her the most. Writing this song with R3HAB was very therapeutic and I am so happy the fans have embraced it like they have. And now we want to give them an alternate version, one that they can dance to and celebrate life!"
"Saved My Life" is approaching Top 15 at Adult Pop Radio and Grammer will sit down with CBS Mornings October 5 to chat more about the inspiration behind the track. When he is not writing and recording new music, Grammer is on the road performing his catalog of multi-platinum, chart-topping hits.
Grammer will also be honored this fall by two incredible organizations. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America will soon announce him as the recipient of their 2022 "Defender of Potential" Award. Additionally, Claire's Place Foundation for Cystic Fibrosis Support will present him with the "Clarity Impact" Award. Both awards highlight the incredible impact Grammer's work and generosity have made in our culture across multiple causes.
Additionally, Grammer is set to perform at the 36th Carousel of Hope Ball at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday, October 8. The Carousel of Hope Ball brings together leaders from the film, television, music, and business industries to raise money for clinical care and diabetes research, increase awareness for diabetes, and celebrate the amazing things that the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes has done to advance diabetes care.
