Nashville’s rising Grit with Grace country rock artist is all grit in her new single, “Hold On To Me”, released today, February 2, 2024, as she spells out how NOT to treat someone in a relationship.
About “Hold On To Me”
This high energy, electrified and rockin’ song penned by Dean Sams, Lauren Mascitti and Jess Kellie Adams was inspired by Jess’ story of wanting to find love so much she settled for less than what her heart deserved. Ultimately, she had the courage to stand up for herself and lay the ground rules for anyone looking to win her heart.
“So many times I’ve tried my hardest to make a relationship work whether romantic or friendship that just wasn’t meant to be and I would sacrifice who I am. Someone can be a good person but not a good fit. This song is hopefully a reminder to all of us that there are people who are perfect for us and we shouldn’t settle for anything less than what we know we need to be happy!” says Jess Kellie Adams.
“Hold On To Me” is Jess’ 4th release since releasing “Homemade” in July of 2023. Listen to “Hold On To Me” HERE:
Preview the lyrics of “Hold On To Me” below:
I heard you say forever today
But honey, we’re still in our honeymoon phase
Laughin, smilin, the sun is shining down
But when it starts rainin
Will you run for higher ground?
If you can’t hold me when I’m lonely
With broken wings and a crooked halo
If you can’t hold me and really show me
You’re a safe place to lay my heart
If you can’t hold me like your one and only
Cause I’m not what you want me to be
Baby move on, you’re not what I want or need
And you’ll never hold on to me

Her love of the music and her desire to touch the hearts of her audience immediately shows from the moment she picks up her guitar and starts belting out a tune.

And when we’ve had Jess at our station events and concerts, she’s always knocked’em dead.” – Dave Woodward, Program Director New Country 92.1 The Frog
