Content
"Keep On Lovin' You" is an up-tempo in which both members of Steel Magnolia alternate lead vocals. The lyrics centralize on a theme of devotion to each other.[2]
Critical reception
Allen Jacobs of Roughstock said "both Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones have voices with an "edge" to them and Meghan, in particular, has a voice that recalls one of her idols, Bekka Bramlett. Joshua Scott's voice recalls rock vocalists of the past but when you blend their two voices together there's just something about this couple, and they are a couple, that makes them work.[3] Chris Neal of Country Weekly called it a "simple little number" that "gives real-life couple Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey a chance to shine," giving it three-and-a-half stars out of five.[2]
The song is included on the Valentine's Day movie soundtrack, also released on Big Machine.[4]
Music video
The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy, and was released on September 4, 2009.[5]
