Grammer started as a busker on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica and later performed in the Viper Room, the Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood) and the House of Blues. Grammer perfected his writing skills as an artist whilst performing on the streets and according to the Keep Your Head Up Songfacts he wrote the song to raise his own spirits after a particularly long day.
His debut video for "Keep Your Head Up" (starring Rainn Wilson) was an iTunes video of the week in 2010, and the version on the artist's site uses an interactive interface that allows the viewer to "send the singer into goofy scenarios". He performed the song on The Rachael Ray Show on November 17, 2010. He is currently opening for Plain White T's for the second leg of their "Wonders of the Younger" tour.
In January 2011, he was named an "Artist to Watch" by Billboard magazine.
He performed at SXSW 2011, playing BMI's Acoustic Brunch, where he was one of the artists contributing to a recording produced by Hanson to benefit the victims of the 2011 Japan earthquake.
His "Keep Your Head Up" video was nominated for MTV's O Music Award for Most Innovative Music Video in April 2011

Andy Grammer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm always on the rise
Or is this love, love, love, love, love?
Dead winter but it feels like June
With a smile I can't hide
Is this love, love, love, love, love?
Well it's love, love, love, love, love yeah
Oh my I'm so delighted, I don't try to even fight it
And I think that you should know that I will never let you go
Oh I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Said oh, I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
I won't let you go now
I've been feeling like you're swimming through my hair
You know you're always on my mind
Is this love, love, love, love, love?
Dead broke feeling like a millionaire
With a twinkle in my eye
Is this love, love, love, love, love?
Ooh wee no defenses I'm too deep for common sense
Well it's love, love, love, love, love yeah
Oh my I'm so delighted I don't try to even fight it
And I think that you should know, that I will never let you go
Oh I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Said oh, I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Said I won't let you go now
I've been sleeping on a cloud called number nine
Walking on the air and staring at the sky
I can't remember ever feeling so alive
It's like you brought me back to life
Well you turned on all the lights, somehow
Ooh wee no defenses I'm too deep for common sense
Well it's love, love, love, love, love
Oh I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Said oh, I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Now sing it out
Oh I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Said oh, I won't, I won't let you go
I won't let you go
Said I won't let you go now
The song "Love Love Love" by Andy Grammer is a beautiful love song that perfectly captures the feeling of being in love. The lyrics describe the overwhelming sensation of love, comparing it to a helium balloon that keeps rising, even in the dead of winter. The imagery is apt because love can make one feel light and buoyant, no matter the circumstance.
The second verse compares the feeling of being in love to swimming through hair and feeling like a millionaire when one is actually broke. These are all experiences that seem impossible when one is not in love, but when one is, they feel tangible and within reach. The chorus repeats the question, "Is this love, love, love, love, love?" indicating the singer's need for affirmation that what they are feeling is, indeed, love.
The bridge acknowledges that the singer is fully immersed in love and has no defenses. They are too deep for common sense, and they don't even try to fight it. The repetition of "love, love, love, love, love" underscores the intensity and significance of the feeling. The song ends with the singer declaring that they will never let go of their beloved.
Overall, "Love Love Love" is a heartfelt song that captures the essence of being in love. The lyrics are catchy and the melody is uplifting, making it a perfect song for celebrating love.
