"Hold My Body Tight" is a song by English boyband East 17, released in June 1995 as the fifth single from their second album, Steam (1994). It was the only single from the album to miss the UK top 10, peaking at No. 12. Outside the UK, it did enter the top 10 hit in Ireland, Israel, Japan, and Lithuania.

Critical reception

[edit]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Everybody can see that daily push-ups keep these guys fitter than any Olympic sportsman. If that's not proof enough of their stamina, check out the vitality radiating from the hot swingbeat track off Steam."[1] Alan Jones from Music Week described it as "a softly smacking mid-tempo groove", adding that "far from their most melodic song, it is nicely harmonised, but a little bland. Definitely not the one to put them back at number one."[2] James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update declared it as a "plaintive jackswing jiggler".[3]
