Keep Holding On" is a power ballad by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, appearing as the last track on Lavigne's third studio album, The Best Damn Thing (2007), which was released on April 17, 2007. Lavigne has described the rest of the album as being upbeat and heavy in comparison to "Keep Holding On". Originally, an alternate version was to be included, but the original version made it instead. Written by Lavigne and Frank (thx1138) from BandHug and produced by the latter, the song premiered on radio stations across North America in November 2006, receiving positive reviews from critics. It was used as the musical theme for the 2006 film Eragon, also appearing in the film's ending credits, and was the first single released from the film's soundtrack. "Keep Holding On" was one of the songs short-listed for the "Best Original Song" category at the 79th Academy Awards, but it was not among the final nominees. The song was also ranked on the iTunes Australia top 500 at 403.

@thx1138: awh thanks Frank, appreciate it! You held on long enough ;) It's always satisfying to complete a collab, so I try to see if I can help out on some older collabs too from time to time :) Mix sounds great!

@thx1138 it's a shame the collab is not finished, the three tracks so far sounds really good! Maybe I can put in some vocals soon? I quite like the song :)

brijamcam - Excellent playing ! Thanks so much ! I think our parts blend well with each other and we sync ! I Electric = L and Acoustic = R....How does it sound to you ? If you do not mind a bit of constructive criticism though.....There is a matter of issue with your video....The beginning of your video is EX-UH-LENT ! BUT after that it just does not seem nice to look at after that....I do not suppose there is anything you could do about it though ? LOL !

@thx1138: Agree. Guitars blend nicely and enjoy hearing cbgb doing his thing on the drums. As far as the video, can't help you there...use your imagination. haha
