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 Records, 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 X. Clayton, and produced by Bauwens and Wilde, the song achieved moderate success in Europe. It was a top 20 hit in both Belgium (15) and Finland (15), and a top 40 hit in Milton's native Netherlands (33). Additionally, "Hold On (If You Believe in Love)" reached number 62 on the UK Singles Chart.

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 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 RM Dance Update declared it as a "doubtless smashbound gruffy melodic exciting Belgia galloper from the 2 Unlimited stable".
