MICKEY GUYTON’S “HOLD ON” REVEALED AS NEXT AVAILABLE TRACK FROM STAR-STUDDED BREAKTHROUGH MOVIE SOUNDTRACK
The recently announced star-studded album Breakthrough, music from and inspired by the highly-anticipated motion picture, is due out April 5 on Mercury Nashville. With the pre-order, fans immediately receive “I’m Standing With You,” performed by lead actor Chrissy Metz, and now, also receive “Hold On,” co-written and performed by Mickey Guyton; both songs playing prominent roles in the feature film. Listen to “Hold On” HERE and pre-order the album HERE.
“Hold On,” written by Mickey, Karen Kosowski, and Victoria Banks, is the first of new music to come from the Texas native. Named as one of Country music’s “female game changers” by Billboard magazine, Mickey has been writing and recording new music this last year.
“Honestly, it was a God moment that this even happened,” shares Mickey. “We had a brief synopsis of a scene in the movie, and 24 hours to turn in a song. We took inspiration from the story, and our own personal experiences, and “Hold On” came together quickly. I just feel so honored to be part of this film. Chrissy Metz is magical and did an amazing job showing the love of a mother for her child.”
The soundtrack includes all original music and recordings from Adam Hambrick, Carrie Underwood, Chrissy Metz, Darius Rucker, Jukebox the Ghost, Lauren Alaina, Maddie & Tae, Mickey Guyton, Phil Wickham, Pigeon John, and Taylor Mosby plus special featured guests Kirk Franklin and Lecrae.
This soundtrack comes just ahead of Twentieth Century Fox’s April 17 release of the feature film Breakthrough. The movie, starring Chrissy Metz, Josh Lucas, Topher Grace, Mike Colter Marcel Ruiz, Sam Trammell, and Dennis Haysbert, is based on the inspirational true story of one mother’s unfaltering love and faith in the face of impossible odds.
