"'Hold On'" is a song written and recorded by Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan. It was released in February 1994 as the second single from her album, 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy' (1993). In 2008, "Hold On" was included on McLachlan's greatest hits compilation, 'Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan'.

McLachlan was inspired to write "Hold On" after watching a Canadian documentary titled 'A Promise Kept'. Speaking to the 'Huffington Post' in 2014, she said: "I saw a documentary on a woman whose husband contracted the HIV virus and it was a great and tragic love story. She took care of him up until he died and her passion, empathy and strength was inspirational."
