Tyler Joseph has spoken several times about the track, including:
Tyler has spoken about how he was feeling when writing “Holding On To You” when he did a live performance for SiriusXM. Here he revealed that he was in doubt about continuing making music, but because he was excited about writing this song, he continued to pursue music.

"People try to interpret what the song is saying and in a way I feel like I’m supposed to let that live and not answer the question. In short, there was a particular show that I was playing and at this time we were really able talk to everyone after a show. I remember this show in particular more than usual, kids came up to me and felt like they needed to share what it was they were going through and a lot of what they were going through had to do with suicide… thank goodness it had a lot to do with them overcoming it and using music and using songs, in particular my songs, to help them get over that and I was so inspired and so moved by that show and those kids that came up to me and shared with me their struggles with suicide and this song is very inspired by them and those people that struggle with that. I don’t claim to be a professional opinion on the topic because it’s dangerous to talk about suicide and to claim you have a voice on the issue but this song is about taking that negative energy and aiming it at something else, not aiming it at yourself, really giving these kids the power to know that they do have control over their circumstances."

|Frontman Tyler Joseph has stated the following regarding this track:<blockquote>"I know you have the ability to hurt yourself, I recognize that, but let’s take that energy and let’s point it at something else, let’s divert that, let’s kind of shift momentum and look at something like art, or something like this music specifically or even point it at me, just point it anywhere. But don’t point it at yourself … that song will always be important to me." [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-guns-for-hands-lyrics <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]</blockquote>
|“Holding on to You” was originally featured on ''Regional At Best'' (2011) and was later remastered for ''Vessel'' (2013). It is the first single the band released under a record label.
Tyler Joseph via ''Rock Sound'':<blockquote>"To have “Holding on to You” kind of be the focus track makes sense to me.</blockquote>It does stand in the middle of what to expect from us – having to do with a lot of different genres, the melody in this song is digestible and it’s one of my favourite chord progressions I’ve ever done. I like that the chorus only happens twice in the song which is a big no no! You are supposed to do it four or five times especially if you want to see a lot of success and have your songs on Super Bowl commercials."
