"Put Your Arms Around Me" is the debut Pop song performed by American boyband Natural. It was their 1st single released in Germany and America.

US debut

As Lou Pearlman's new band Lou spared no expense in promoting Natural's debut single. They teamed up with Claire's to sell the single in their US stores as a $1 item with a $12 purchase. Thanks to this "Put Your Arms Around Me" soon made #1 on Billboard's Sales charts (number of volumes shipped) but failed to hit top 40.

Natural continued promoting the single via a Mall tour in conjunction with JC Penney as well as various low tier music chart shows (such as then FOX Family Countdown and Nickelodeon's 'You pick live'). "Put Your Arms Around Me" mainly had radio play in their native Orlando but failed to really make an impact elsewhere. Oddly enough the official single (not in conjunction with Claire's) was released after the promotional blitz ended.

This would be one of only two official Natural singles released in the US; the other being the much later and more mature What if. Two other promotional singles were released including 'Left 2 Right' (Radio Disney) and Paradise. None of them ever charted.

German success

After the initial success with Claire's Lou decided to release the single in Germany where boybands had done very well for him. The single and the band both became a huge success peaking at #12. The buzz from the single helped their debut album "Keep It Natural" peak at #2 soon after.

Censorship

"Put Your Arms Around Me" is one of the few songs on "Keep It Natural" to suffer some censorship. The original chorus lyric went "Come lay down beside me" though some video versions feature the lyric as "Always be beside me". Its not clear why the lyric was changed. During an interview on NBC with Billy Bush he had teased the guys the chorus lyric 'I'll be here till the dawn meets the day' was risque yet that line was never changed.
