“Love Me Baby” is simply a sultry call for love with a contingency plan…love me, or lose me. This song started with a bass line as many of our songs do. (Tor fancies his left hand being a bass player.) I started seeing smoke, smelling whiskey, snapping my fingers and whisper-singing like old-school Mariah Carey meets Nina Simone’s “Love Me or Leave Me” only, unlike in that tune, I retain the power. We are all here to love and be loved so when you aren’t getting it, there’s always someone out there who is ready to give it. Ultimately, this tune is a reminder of what happens when you take that for granted. — Lisa St. Lou
