"Hold Me" is a single by British-American rock group Fleetwood Mac. The song was the first track to be released from the album Mirage (1982), the thirteenth album by the band. Lindsey Buckingham was main producer with Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat. Christine McVie and Buckingham were the lead vocalists.
Background-
"Hold Me" was written by Christine McVie and Robbie Patton. During one of the recording sessions, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham suggested that he and McVie perform "Hold Me" as a duet similar to "Don't Stop". The two vocalists sang their parts with the studio windows open over the Paris countryside.
Cash Box said that "the catchy hook, the solid rhythm and, of course, the female harmonies all come together in a package that can’t beat."
Released in June 1982 in advance of the album itself, the song became one of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits in the United States, peaking at No. 4 for a then-record seven consecutive weeks, from July 24, 1982 to September 4, 1982. (Potential higher chart placement was prevented by songs including "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "Abracadabra" by the Steve Miller Band, as well as the No. 2 peaking of "Hurts So Good" by John Cougar.) "Hold Me" ranked at No. 31 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1982.
In the United Kingdom, "Hold Me" was released in July 1982, but failed to chart despite respectable publicity. The song was eventually re-issued in February 1989 to promote the group's Greatest Hits (1988) package with "No Questions Asked" as the B-side. It reached No. 94.
The song is also included on the 2002 US version, and 2009 UK re-issue of the greatest hits album The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.
