🎶 Hold Up song analysis

The singer expresses her feelings of being cheated on in a relationship and the fact that others don't like the person she is with as she does. She encourages the person she loves to stand up and recognize that she is the one who loves her the most and that she is being treated unfairly. She also suggests that she leave the relationship if she doesn't feel respected, because it's better to be "crazy" than to be stepped on.
