"Shelter Me" was the lead single from Cinderella's third album, Heartbreak Station. It peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The line "some people wave the Bible 'cause it's giving them a thrill" addresses the then-current atmosphere of religious conservatism that threatened to smother the music industry.
