Speaking of the single, the band explains:
“‘Hold On’ is about finding yourself in a relationship, whether it be familial, platonic, or romantic, that eats away at you mentally and or emotionally. There are some relationships where one person is putting forth so much of their energy only for the other to take advantage of it, leaving them unable to give anymore. It’s easy to feel trapped in a situation like that, so you’re hoping that the other person finds their way out and realizes that what they’re doing isn’t fair to you. That’s the premise of ‘Hold On’. The song serves as a cathartic release for those who have ever been in toxic or traumatic relationships and have made it out on the other side.”
Regarding the video, the band continues:
“In the video there is an angel-like character that represents something or someone that you have a deep attachment to, but can no longer have that connection and you’re confined watching from a distance. We chose to shoot in an empty, overgrown field to set the nostalgic, yet unobtainable setting. It was a no-brainer to shoot with Dylan Cole after he killed it on our video for our song ‘lead me down’, He’s such an insanely talented director and made this video everything we envisioned.”
