A música é o retorno épico de Spears depois de quase seis anos longe da música, com seu último single sendo "Slumber Party" em 2016 de seu nono álbum de estúdio Glory . É também a primeira música que ela lançou desde que sua tutela terminou no ano passado, que foi imposta a ela por seu pai Jamie Spears em 2008.

"Hold Me Closer" é uma mistura de três sucessos épicos de John : "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", "Tiny Dancer" e "The One", com vocais de Spears, cujos fãs podem até ouvir um icônico "baby " de seu hit de 1998, "Baby One More Time" ao fundo.
