Hold On (song)

"Hold On" or "Hold On Just a Little While Longer" is a song that is used in Detroit: Become Human. It is sung by various androids throughout the game and its extended universe.

The song was not written for the game, but is a real-world gospel song, "Hold On Just a Little While Longer", written by Rev. Cleophus Robinson Jr. and originating on his 1980 album, Consolation.

The song as sung by Luther and Markus was performed by singer Jua Amir.^[1] The same audio track was used for both performances, though the Markus version includes additional harmony from North and other androids.

Lyrics[]

Verse:

Hold on just a little while longer

Everything will be alright

Fight on just a little while longer

(Fight/Pray) on just a little while longer

Everything will be alright

Chorus:

(We will) sing on just a little while longer

Sing on just a little while longer

Everything will be alright

Everything will be alright...

Appearances[]

In the short film "Luther", the android Luther sings the song.
In the chapter "Jericho", Lucy is heard humming the song when Markus first arrives in Jericho.
In the chapter "Battle for Detroit", Markus has the choice to sing this song at the end of the Demonstration path, and is joined by his fellow androids.
Hostess Chloe may sing this song at random times when idling in the main screen of the game. She only sings one verse.

Notes[]

Markus' version does not sing the words "We will".
Luther's version sings "We will" as well as using three lines of "Fight on" instead of one line of "Pray on" in the second verse.
Chloe's version consists of only the first 5 sentences.
