What’s it called when I can recall the key of a song without hearing it?

I can sing any song that I know and, 9 times out of 10, I will sing it in the exact key it was written in. What is that called? I don’t think it’s the same as perfect pitch

    It's called the Levitin effect and is associated with relative pitch. Perfect pitch - or absolute pitch - is much rarer, that is the ability to hear ANY sound and know what pitch it is.
