"Hold Me Down" is a song by American singer Halsey, which samples Son Lux's "Easy". It was released on June 1, 2015, through Astralwerks as a promotional single from her debut studio album, Badlands (2015). It was released alongside the album pre-order.[1][2] It has since accumulated over 100 million streams on Spotify and has been certified Gold in Australia and the US.[3]
During a show in June 2015, one of the song's first live performances, Halsey explained the inspiration and meaning behind the song: "I was meeting a bunch of mean, old men who thought they knew better than I. And I met this one guy in particular, a certain asshole who inspired this song. This song is a reminder that no matter how small you are or how small people may make you seem, you should never let anything hold you down."[citation needed] She later performed the song during VEVO Lift Live in August 2015 following the album's release.
