I'm Holdin' On to Love (To Save My Life)

"I'm Holdin' On to Love (To Save My Life)" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. It was the twelfth and final single from her album Come on Over. It was written by Mutt Lange and Twain. The song was originally released to North American country radio stations in July 2000. With no promo performances, video, or commercial single, the song was still able to reach the top 20 of the Billboard Country Singles chart. "I'm Holdin' on to Love (to Save My Life)" was performed on the Come on Over Tour, in a medley on the Up! Tour, and on Twain's 2003 special Up! Close and Personal.

Critical reception

Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying "This is one of those little tunes that pushes all the right buttons that Twain and Lange have engaged so successfully before. Look for it to follow its predecessors up the chart."^[1]
