Yearwood released her third album in 1993 entitled "The Song Remembers When". The title track reached number two on the "Billboard" country chart that year. The record was recorded in a similar musical style to "Hearts in Armor", differing with more contemporary arrangements. The album also included collaborations with other artists such as Rodney Crowell and Willie Nelson. The album was later accompanied by a cable television special in 1993, where the title track's music video derived from. Yearwood followed the studio album with her first Holiday compilation in 1994 titled "The Sweetest Gift". It included cover versions of holiday standards, such as "Away in a Manger", "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!", and "The Christmas Song".
