Minogue considers "Hold on to Now" to be one of her favourite songs from the album. It's a synth-driven track with electronic music elements and gospel sections performed by the House Gospel Choir. The song's lyrics address Minogue's desire to ask existential questions and seek answers. Music critics praised "Hold on to Now" for the singer's vocals, songwriting skills, and overall production quality. Some critics have compared it to the work of the Swedish singer Robyn. The song was also shortlisted for Song of the Year at the 2024 APRA Music Awards.

Prior to its official release, "Hold on to Now" charted in Australia, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and it was the UK's 18th best-selling vinyl single in 2023. To promote the song, Minogue uploaded a lyric video to her YouTube channel, alongside various album visualisers that debuted on the same day as the album's release. Minogue also performed the song at several live events, including her More Than Just a Residency show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Writing and development

Minogue started working on new music in 2022. [1] During her downtime, she visited her friend and long-time collaborator, Richard "Biffco" Stannard, and they started working together. According to Stannard, they were only experimenting with sounds and were not initially planning to create an album. [1] One of the pieces that was conceived prior to the sessions was a voice note that Minogue sent to Stannard with a "na-na-na" melody. [2] They invited Duck Blackwell, a producer and multi-instrumentalist, to join them, and after collaborating as a group (Minogue, Blackwell, Jon Green, Stannard), "Hold on to Now" became one of the first tracks from the sessions. [1]

Blackwell also stated that Minogue and Biffco were "were very welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable sharing my own personal stories and contributing to that. 'Hold on To Now' was born out of that." [1] Biffco and Blackwell produced the song, alongside Green who contributed to the songs production and songwriting process. [3] It was recorded at Biffco Studios in Brighton, The Pool Studio in Bermondsey, and Infinite Disco Studios in Melbourne. Ben Loveland was the recording engineer, and James Pinfield-Wells helped with the engineering. Minogue contributed additional engineering, and Guy Massey mixed the song. The song features the House Gospel Choir, which is directed by Natalie Maddix. [3]

Composition

"I wanted to write about the fact that we spend so much time wondering where we’re going that we forget to enjoy the present moment, even though that moment isn’t going to last. This title is about that period of time when I’m looking for answers, and I can’t find them." [4]

—Minogue discussing the themes of "Hold on to Now".

"Hold on to Now" is a three-minute, 58-second synth-driven track with electronic music elements. [5] The song is written in the key of B minor. [6] According to Michael Cragg of Crack , the song's sound is "synth-slathered," while Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic describes it as "encouraging uplift" with "sparkles and builds to a joyous chorus, atop intergalactic synths and subtle New Order-esque guitar noodling." [7] [8] According to Vera Maksymiuk of Riff, the track features a "super-charged bass line and ethereal synths as she reassures us that "we can keep dancing forever." [9]

Some critics likened the sound to that of Swedish singer Robyn. The Financial Times writer Ludovic Hunter-Tilney described the song as "euphoric electronic pop with a Robyn-esque tinge of melancholy." [10] In his review of the song's parent album, Tension , Harry Tafoya of Pitchfork described it as a "Robyn-esque plea for romantic faith." [11] PinkNews editor Marcus Watten described the song's sound as feeling like a "little, celestial sister to her 2020 single 'Say Something,' with a sprinkling of Robyn's 2018 comeback smash 'Honey'." [12]

The song's lyrics speak to Minogue's desire to ask and answer existential questions. In an Apple Music review, Minogue explained the song's lyrical process, saying, "But it’s about searching—when you’re so busy searching for answers, you forget being in the present. That’s why that speaks to me. I’m really very fond of it." [2] Minogue also stated in a podcast episode of the Zach Sang Show that "Hold on to Now" is more "expressive" than the other songs on the album. [13] According to Annabel Ross of The Sydney Morning Herald , the song is a "twinkling power ballad that hits the upper limits of tolerable schmaltz". Ross interpreted the lyrics as "Minogue being lonely, and she searches for something more meaningful." [14]

Release

On October 30, 2023, BMG Rights Management and Minogue's company Darenote released "Hold On to Now" on airplay platforms in Italy. [15] Later, the extended version of the single was distributed on digital platforms to promote Extension (The Extended Mixes) (2023); following that, the original version was distributed in five formats: digitally and through streaming on 2 November, featuring two mixes of the song, CD single and cassette tape on 10 November, and vinyl record on 8 December, including the extended mix of the song. [16] [17] Prior to its release, Minogue teased the song's announcement and release date on social media. [18] The cover artwork was created by Studio Moross and is based on images from the parent album's photo shoot. [3] [16]

"Hold on to Now" received positive reviews from music critics, and Minogue considers it one of her favourite songs from the album. [2] [19] Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic described the song as one of the album's highlights. [8] Hannah Mylrea of Rolling Stone describes it as "late-night shimmer" and compares it to Minogue's 2010 single "Get Outta My Way" for "conjuring the same jubilation." [20] According to NME writer Nick Levine, the song "feels like an upbeat successor" to Minogue's 2020 single "Say Something" and is the "sonic equivalent of a burst of confetti." [21] According to Medium, the track "has a beautifully astronomical sound that soars upward as the glittering synths and choir erupt." [22] The Music editor Bryget Chrisfield described it as a "wistful dancefloor banger." [23]

Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine described it as "lightweight and anthemic," adding that the song is in the "vein" of Minogue's previous releases, including 2010's "All the Lovers" and 2014's "Into the Blue." Camp also stated that Minogue's vocals "coasts on a cloud of percolating synths backed by a gospel choir and a soaring guitar solo." [24] Variety contributor Todd Gilchrist praised the song's musical direction and production quality, writing that it "feels destined for an unforgettable end-of-night music festival encore, complete with a gospel choir backing Minogue up." [25]

Marcus Watten of PinkNews labelled the track as the fourth best song on the parent album, while Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor described it as the album's "carpe diem paean". [12] [26] Stereogum's Katherine St. Asaph gave the track a glowing review, stating that "the song is the surest of bets: an arpeggiated, shimmering crescendo of a pop tune about making it through hardship, one instant after another." She described it as "top-shelf material" and concluded that it "would be a near-perfect eleventh-hour album track in anyone's hands." [27] The song was also shortlisted for Song of the Year at the 2024 APRA Music Awards. [28]
