Loggins was born in Everett, Washington and is the youngest of three brothers. His mother was Lina (née Massie), a homemaker, and his father, Robert George Loggins, was a salesman. They lived in Detroit and Seattle before settling in Alhambra, California. Loggins attended San Gabriel Mission High School, graduating in 1966. He formed a band called the Second Helping that released three singles during 1968 and 1969 on Viva Records. Greg Shaw described the efforts as "excellent punky folk-pop records" that were written by Loggins who was likely to be the bandleader and singer as well; Shaw included "Let Me In" on both Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 2 and the Pebbles, Volume 9 CD.
Loggins had a short gig playing guitar for the New Improved Electric Prunes in 1969 before writing four songs for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, which were included in their Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy album. During his early twenties, he was part of the band Gator Creek with Mike Deasy. An early version of "Danny's Song" (later recorded by Loggins and Messina and a No. 7 Hot 100 hit for Anne Murray in 1973) was included in a record on Mercury Records.
Loggins appears in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V playing himself as the host of an in-game radio station called Los Santos Rock Radio. He also lends the songs "Danger Zone" and "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)", and sings station jingles.
In 2014, Loggins appeared as himself in the episode "Baby Shower" of the fifth season of the animated comedy series Archer. His song "Danger Zone" had been a recurring joke in the show. At the end of the episode and during the credits, Loggins also performs a country version of "Danger Zone" as a duet with the character of Cherlene. Loggins stated in a later interview that his in-show nickname 'K-Log' is a complete creation of the show, stating, "It was always a joke. That's why it works, because it's so absurd.
Heaven Help Me
Kenny Loggins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If there's anything worth my love it's worth a fight
We only get one chance
But nothing ties our hands
You're what I want
Listen to me, nothing I want
Is out of my reach
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free)
Running away will never make me free
And nothing we sign is any kind of guarantee
But I want to hold you now
And I won't hold you down
I'm shaking the past making my breaks
Taking control
If that's what it takes
(I'm free) heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free)
I want to hold you now
And I won't hold you down
You're what I want
Listen to me, nothing I want
Is out of my reach
(I'm free) heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free) heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'm free) heaven helps the man who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
The lyrics of Kenny Loggins's song Heaven Help Me talks about a man who is deeply in love with someone and is willing to fight for that love, no matter what.

The man feels as though he and his partner only get one chance at true love, but nothing is holding him back from giving it his all. He reassures his partner that he wants to hold them now and not hold them down because he knows that running away will never make him truly free.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Heaven helps the man who fights his fear" several times. This signifies that the man understands that true love may be scary, but he is willing to fight his fears and do whatever it takes to make it work. He believes that love is the only thing that keeps him going and that his heart belongs with his partner. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus and seemingly like the man has finally found the freedom he seeks as he declares: "I'm free!"
In conclusion, Kenny Loggins's song Heaven Help Me talks about true love, fear, and the freedom that comes with fighting for what you believe. The lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever been deeply in love and understands the importance of giving it their all.
