With his first release of 2025 and fifth release overall, Alex Hugo has taken “crying in the club” to a whole new level with his single, “Heart On Hold.” This track features Hugo expressing his longing for someone who keeps him at their every beck and call.
“Heart On Hold” creates a euphoric feeling for listeners, as it’s heavily focused on upbeat synth usage paired with longingly melancholic vocals. Hugo perfectly encapsulates the highs and lows of chasing somebody in a relationship, as well as the desperation to achieve reciprocated love with lyrics like “You’ve got my fuckin’ heart on hold / And I can’t hear above the noise.”
The contrast between Alex Hugo’s bright and catchy electro-pop instrumentals and his distressing lyrics create a perfect song that gets your body moving, and your mind racing.
