Got a Hold on Me

"Got a Hold on Me" is a song by Christine McVie, released as the lead single from her eponymous second solo album in 1984.

The song reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary and Rock Tracks charts for four and two weeks, respectively. The song was McVie's only top 10 solo hit in the United States.

Synthesizers on the track were played by Steve Winwood, while the guitars were played by Todd Sharp (the song's co-writer) and McVie's Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. The other musicians were bassist George Hawkins and drummer-percussionist Steve Ferrone.

The video for the song was produced and directed by Jon Roseman. Shot in both black-and-white and color, it is a pseudo-performance video showing Christine McVie in a mansion-like room singing at her piano while a backup band appears in silhouette shadows on the walls around her.
