Will Carter Band - Holdin' On
When asked about how he came up with the idea for the music video, Will Carter said, “I came up with the idea for the “Holdin’ On” music video while holding my 2 month old baby daughter, Grace. We had just recorded “Holdin’ On” with Trent Willmon. She wasn’t sleeping through the night yet and I was taking care of her during one of her 3am wakes. After I had changed and fed her, I noticed an email from Trent with the first studio mix of the song. I was holding her, dancing her back to sleep and listening to the fully produced song for the first time. I decided right then that I wanted to recreate that moment for the music video.
My oldest daughter, Kylee, was also getting married the next month so I wanted the video to capture the full circle progression of holding your baby girl, watching her grow up, eventually getting married and leaving you. We had my niece, Aurora play the toddler part in the video. All three of the girls knocked it out of the park.
The song is about a dance that symbolizes the relationship. You think you’re leading, but they’ve got you wrapped around their finger and you’re really just “holdin’ on”.
