The song is also included on the 2002 US version, and 2009 UK re-issue of the album The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac. It became a quite popular radio hit however, and it was eventually re-issued in February 1989 to promote the group's 1988 Greatest Hits package with "No Questions Asked" as the B-side. It was first released there in July 1982 and failed to chart. In the UK, "Hold Me" was not a successful single.

It is alleged that the song was about McVie's turbulent 3 year relationship with Dennis Wilson who struggled with alcoholism throughout their time together. Released in June 1982 in advance of the album itself, the song became one of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits in the USA, peaking at #4 for seven consecutive weeks and ranking at #31 on the Hot 100 year-end chart for 1982. "Hold Me" was written by Christine McVie and Robbie Patton and sung by McVie and Lindsey Buckingham. The song was the first track to be released from the 1982 album Mirage, the fourth album by the band with Lindsey Buckingham acting as main producer with Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat. " Hold Me" is a single by British-American rock group Fleetwood Mac.
