"Hold Me" is a song by Australian musical duo Savage Garden. It was released as the sixth overall single from their second and final studio album Affirmation (1999). It was initially planned to be released on 8 August 2000, in the United States to contemporary hit and adult contemporary radio but was pulled at the last minute, with "Affirmation" being released instead.[1] Therefore, it was first officially released on 13 November 2000 in the United Kingdom.

The track proved to be far less successful than previous singles from Affirmation, failing to enter the top ten in any market. In the group's native Australia, it became their worst-charting single and the first to miss the top fifty; it also marked the final time Savage Garden charted in Australia. The track however did become a minor top twenty hit in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

The music video features Darren walking around Borough Market, and streets in South London, whilst trucks drive in and out of them.

Song meaning

In a video posted on the band's Facebook page on 21 June 2015, singer Darren Hayes explained that "Hold Me" had been written about a marriage breaking down.
