Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't hold back
If it feels good, do it
Don't hold back
Don't hold back
If it feels good
Don't hold back
And dance all around
Don't hold back
Said if you want to party
Party, party, party
Don't hold back
[Repeat CHORUS]
If you want to change your mind
And it feels good, do it
Don't hold back
And if the music makes you move
Stand up, do the groove
Don't hold back
[Repeat CHORUS 3x to fade]

RIP to both of these great guys. I had the pleasure of knowing one of them very personally because he is my father, David Williams. The record label (Kichelle) was named after my sister and I...Kimberly and Michelle.
@discomorxis
Great to know! fantastic music...;-)
@FriendofDorothy
well, thanks to your Dad for giving so much listening and dancing pleasure; I just loved this record when it came out and I'm sure I'm not alone. Far as I'm concerned it's right up there with any of the great tracks by Chic as far as groove and dance-floor appeal are concerned. "Don't Hold Back" is very much alive in my collection of great tunes!
@Pastor58
One of the baddest jams from the 70's. I'm a guitar and bass player, and the difficulty of the riffs those guys played is stellar!
@DaBeatm8ker
This is crazy!! I used to listen to this song when i was a young chold. Couldnt never find it!!! Ever! Then i was watching a show on youtube called the Bass Mint, i kept hearing the name James Jamerson..finally saw his interview and heard him say, i had a hit song called "Dont Hold Back" and i almost fell out my chair!!!! I even remember the record art. This has really mad my day! Your father David Williams has really played a part in my life, i too am a musician as was inspired by this song!!! Blessing to you and your entire family. Wow!!!!!!! I cant put into words what just happened!
