In a press release, Sawayama states: “‘Hold the Girl’ was the first song I wrote for the record at the end of 2020—I had gone to therapy and had a revelation, so I decided to write this song…that was the start of it. I was crying before going into the studio to write about it.”

Rina Sawayama’s debut album, SAWAYAMA, came out in 2020 via Dirty Hit.
