During his rise to notability, Diplo worked with British musician M.I.A., an artist who is credited with helping expose him in his early career. Later, Pentz and fellow M.I.A. producer Switch created a Jamaican dancehall project titled Major Lazer. Since then, Diplo has worked on production and mixtape projects with many other notable pop artists. Pentz's alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.

The lyrics to Diplo's song Hold On suggest a moment of passion between two individuals. The singer addresses the person he is with, telling them to hold on as he is coming. This could either be interpreted as a physical coming or as an emotional one. The lyrics suggest that the woman he is with is wearing jeans that he has a "feel" for, which contributes to the sexual undertones of the song.
The singer then mentions leaving the rhythm for "just a minute," which could again be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that he is taking a break from dancing or that he is taking a break from whatever build-up has been occurring between him and his partner. He then states that there is no one there and that they don't have to talk about it, indicating perhaps a need for privacy or a desire to keep things light and casual.
Overall, the lyrics to Hold On are relatively straightforward, but they imply a moment of intimacy and attraction between two people. The references to rhythm and clothing add to the sensual nature of the song, as does the repeated plea to hold on.
Line by Line Meaning
Hold on, I'm coming
I am on my way to you and will be there soon
Oh, yeah, I see you, baby
I have noticed you and acknowledge your presence
Gotta feel for the jeans you're wearing
I appreciate the clothes that you are wearing
Gonna leave the rhythm, just a minute
I will take a brief break from dancing to attend to you
Ain't no one here
There is nobody else present
We don't have to talk about it
We do not need to discuss this
I know you'll understand it
I am confident that you will comprehend
? a lady
Unknown or missing due to alteration
You're the only one here
You are the sole person present
Hold on, hold on
Please be patient and wait for me
