Howard and Cockrell then approached Punk-Rock drummer Steve Johnson, who was working at a local music store, to join the band. The trio recorded some of their songs in a studio in Decatur, Alabama and subsequently recruited guitarist Heath Fogg on his return to Athens from college in Tuscaloosa. Originally christened "The Shakes," the band later renamed themselves The Alabama Shakes in order to differentiate themselves from other bands with their original name.
The Alabama foursome gained widespread media attention after releasing a self-titled four-song EP in September 2011 and Rough Trade Records in the United Kingdom and ATO Records in the United States signed them two months later. Hold On was released as the first single from their debut album, Boys & Girls .

Alabama Shakes Lyrics
Bless my heart
Bless my soul
Didn't think I'd make it to twenty-two years old
There must be someone up above saying
Come on Brittany
You got to come on up
You got to hold on
Yeah you got to hold on
So, bless my heart and bless yours too
I don't know where I'm gonna go
Don't what what I'm gonna do
Must be somebody up above saying come on Brittany
You got to come on up!
You got to hold on
Yeah you got to hold on
Yeah, you got to wait
Yeah, you got to wait
But I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
So, bless my heart
Bless my mind
I got so much to do
I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above
Saying come on girl
You got to get back up
You got to hold on
Yeah you got to hold on
Yeah, you got to wait
I don't wanna wait
Well I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
You got to hold on
You got to hold on
You've gotta hold on
You gotta hold on

"Bless my heart, bless my soul.
Didn't think I'd make it to 22 years old.
There must be someone up above sayin',
"Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up.
You got to hold on...
Hey, you got to hold on..."
So, bless my heart and bless yours too.
I don't know where I'm gonna go
Don't know what I'm gonna do.
There must be somebody up above sayin',
"Come on, Brittany, you got to come on up!
You got to hold on...
Hey, you got to hold on..."
"Yeah! You got to wait!
Yeah! You got to wait!"
But I don't wanna wait!
No, I don't wanna wait...
So, bless my heart and bless my mind.
I got so much to do, I ain't got much time
So, must be someone up above saying,
"Come on, girl! Yeah, you got to get back up!
You got to hold on...
Yeah, you got to hold on..."
"Yeah! You got to wait!"
I don't wanna wait!
But I don't wanna wait!
No, I don't wanna wait!
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on...
You got to hold on..."
