Sångaren Benji Lewis från Los Angeles är tillbaka och följer upp Fast forward med singeln Hold on. På nya singeln bjuder sångaren oss på en emotionell och behaglig poplåt som i sig bygger på när Benji var i ett ohälsosamt förhållande. Där försökte han manövrera sig igenom situationen och samtidigt hålla en sund inställning till livet.
“It’s about wanting to get past all of the unwanted drama and mess that this relationship is bringing to you and your life, but still finding a way to keep them around if only they can meet you in the middle. Not on their terms, but something that works for you and them. In a way that doesn’t make you feel like you are losing grip with life itself day to day.
Through this song I was trying to ask for understanding from this person who I was madly in love with, really asking them to hear me. Things needed to change, and I needed to feel more ok and at ease. Ultimately, I was wanting for our love to transition nicely and somehow into a beautiful friendship. Looking back, I guess I was asking for too much. This wasn’t what they wanted or who they are and that’s ok. It’s probably for the best anyway because whenever I was around them, I would still feel those crazy special feelings and catch myself looking at them in a way that friends shouldn’t look at each other.”
Låten är tagen från Benjis kommande EP som släpps under 2020.
