Hold On (If You Believe in Love)

"Hold On (If You Believe in Love)" is a song by Dutch dance music vocalist CB Milton, released in 1994, by Byte, BMG and Logic Records, as the fourth single from Milton's debut album, It's My Loving Thing (1994). Written by Peter Bauwens, Phil WIlde and Xavier Clayton, and produced by Bauwens and Wilde, the song achieved moderate success in Europe. It was a top-20 hit in both Belgium and Finland, and a top-40 hit in Milton's native Netherlands. Additionally, "Hold On (If You Believe in Love)" reached number 62 on the UK Singles Chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Nick Burgess-Jones.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that "Hold On (If You Believe in Love)" "is more or less styled after the golden age of Stock. Aitken & Waterman". They later added, "Whereas all competitors use hordes of female backing vocalists and a male rapper, a cheap sequencer, a simple pop song and his own voice is all this Euro dance singer needs." A reviewer from Music Week gave it a score of three out of five, commenting, "CB's excellent debut single 'It's a Loving Thing' deserved more chart glory than its number 32 peak. The follow-up, in the same frantic Eurobeat vein, will do well to go higher." James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update declared it as a "doubtless smashbound gruffy melodic exciting Belgia galloper from the 2 Unlimited stable".
