Becoming one of the group's most successful singles, it reached number two on the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart and was a top 10 hit also in Israel (8), while entering the top 20 in Denmark (13) and Finland (19).

Its accompanying music video was directed by Barry Maguire[1] and made mostly in black-and-white, but some scenes also have a sepia tone.

German group Fun Factory used the same melody for their hit single "Close To You" in 1994.

"Hold On"'s up-beat tune is somewhat similar to Captain Hollywood's recent chartbusters but with a different vocal flavour.

That isn't all that surprising with the Captain's producer taking his place behind the board.
