Hardwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Giving you something, something that you never had
Craig David and Hardwell, we ain't holding back
When we bounce from the front to the back
All of my DJ should've known that
Craig David and Hardwell, we ain't holding back
Different girls, different nights
When it came to relationships
Not a girl seem to get it right
Yeah, I used to hesitate
Now I don't wanna wait
No more, no more, no more, no more
I know that I've been away and that's a fact
Please don't get me wrong
But I don't wanna be the player that ends up all alone
And now that I have you in my heart, in my life
I'm here to get my all
I ain't holding back
I ain't holding back, no, no
I ain't holding back
I ain't holding back, no, no
I ain't holding back

Girl, you shine so bright Yeah now I've seen the light
When I'm with you it's just like
Them other girls they fade to white
When a girl like you comes by

The song "No Holding Back" by Hardwell featuring Craig David is a dance-pop song that showcases Craig's powerful vocals with a catchy and upbeat melody. The lyrics speak about letting go of the past and the mistakes made in relationships and not holding back in love, giving everything to the person you care about.
In the first verse, Craig talks about his previous relationships, the different women he has been with, and how none of them seem to have captured his heart. However, he has met someone special and he is determined to give his all to this relationship without hesitating. He declares that he won't hold back and he will do everything he can to make it work.
The chorus is repetitive, emphasizing the message of not holding back and putting everything into this love. Craig acknowledges that he has been away in the past, but now that he has found love, he is willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.
In the second verse, Craig sings about how the new woman he has met is different from the rest. She shines so bright, and when he is with her, everything else fades to white. He recognizes that he needs to do what is right and he won't let go of her. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the message of not holding back in love.
