"Hold On Tight" was the third single from British singer Samantha Fox's 1986 debut album Touch Me.

"Hold On Tight" is a classically styled rock and roll song. The late 1980s saw a renewed interest in retro-1950s pop culture, in part spurred on by the film Back to the Future. "Hold On Tight's" electric guitar and backbeat serve to evoke a 1950s rock and roll sound.

The music video reflects the song's rockabilly sensibilities by showing Samantha Fox in a diner sporting a ponytail, midriff-baring shirt, denim hot pants, and cowgirl boots. Soon after putting her song on the diner's jukebox she headed outside, this time wearing a fringe trimmed red leather dress. As she sings "Hold On Tight" Fox danced with greasers and youths in letterman jackets and poodle skirts, typical of 1950s fashion.
