With his latest single “The Longer You Hold On”, Canadian songwriter Colter Wall leans fully into classic country themes shaped by fading love and quiet inevitability. Recorded at RCA Studio A with longtime collaborator and touring guitarist Pat Lyons, the track draws on a sound rooted in dancehalls, honky tonks, and AM radio tradition. Wall says, “‘The Longer You Hold On’ is about waiting for the other shoe to drop,” describing it as an old country story of knowing when love is nearing its end. The song reflects the direction of his ten-song collection, out now, where Wall notes the presence of cowboy vernacular and country-focused songwriting throughout.
