Description
Electric guitars, bass, keyboard, synth, drums, what else does this song not have? Starting the last track of the album, Pretty Little Freaks leaves us with a very uptempo, anthem like song for all girls. Starting with Jade's edgy, almost raspy-like voice, the song is clearly not the soft, delicate tone that we're used to her singing. This rock, electro song really raises the spirits of the often moody and depressive state the girls sing in. If you want a song that really spotlights Mia and Jade's vocals, Hold On Tight is the perfect one. Their mixture of pop and rock gives them the boost they need in proving themselves to the industry. The two colliding for the chorus really sends chills down ones spine with the amount of passion the two sing with. Mia also impresses with her verse, giving the dangerous edge she's always had. When the two separate for the bridge, the music is paused while hand claps are heard and a tambourine being played. A choir heard singing the Hold on tight while the other two bounce off each other singing back and forth which then leads back into the band playing again. The two keep singing with the choir and the song fades out.

Jade's Comments
"This is my second favorite song on the album. It's a really aggressive yet fun song. It's mostly about being in a bad relationship with someone and not having to put up with their crap and getting revenge because in the words of fellow rocker Lily, 'Revenge is sweeter than making up'. It's really a sort of anthem for not taking just anything a guy gives you when they feed you those sweet lines and say how they love you. It's really for girls and or women to stand up for themselves, something that I personally struggle with, but it's telling the guy to hold on tight because we're going to give them a run for their money and not them get off easy with what they do. There's a really dark sound to it but there's also a sort of relief to it for women because being lied to is the worst but finding out about it and being able to do something about it is amazing. The single cover is supposed to represent us as the ones who are getting revenge on the guy who is blind to what is going on. He doesn't know that we know how he's treated us so he's blindfolded."

Lyrics

Jade = Dark Red
Mia = Purple
Together = Black


When you wake up, up I hope that you remember me
When you get up, up I hope you hear the words I speak
The fun's just begun and it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So you better
When you look up, up I hope that it's me you see
When you screw up, up I hope she'll be ready to compete
And the fun's just begun and it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So you better hold on tight

Hold on tight
Yeah it's gonna be a bumpy ride so you better
Hold on tight, Hold on tight
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
That you're well looken after
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
You get what you deserve

When we made love, love you said that I was the one
When we broke up, up you said that we were done
The fun's just begun and it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So you better
When we last touched, touched you said that it was better than
When we screwed up, up and you threw me in the lions den
And the fun's just begun and it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So you better hold on tight

Hold on tight
Yeah it's gonna be a bumpy ride so you better
Hold on tight, Hold on tight
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
That you're well looken after
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
You get what you deserve

Oh-h-h, Just say it isn't so-o-o-o
And now you're begging on your knees
(Crocodile tears and meaningless pleas)
Oh-h-h, Just wanted you to kno-o-ow
The fun's just begun and it's gonna be
(A bumpy ri-i-i-de)

So you better (Hold on tight)
Hold on tight
Yeah you better (Hold on tight)
Hold on tight
Hold on tight

So you better hold on tight
Hold on tight
Yeah it's gonna be a bumpy ride so you better
Hold on tight, Hold on tight
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
That you're well looken after
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
You get what you deserve

Hold on tight
Yeah it's gonna be a bumpy ride so you better
Hold on tight, Hold on tight
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
That you're well looken after
Don't you worry about a thing I'll make sure
You get what you deserve
