[Verse 1]
A million miles later
We've walked through the valleys and found a haven
We let no one dictate us
We're tainted and bruised so there's no point saving
Us together whatever the weather, yeah
You're gonna be alright tonight, tonight, tonight

[Chorus]
Hold tight
As long as you're by my side
Hold tight
Everything's gonna be alright
I know we'll find a way
We'll walk through the seas and we'll smile again
I know we'll find a way
But for tonight, hold tight
So tonight, so tonight, hold tight
So tonight, so tonight, tonight, tonight

[Verse 2]
We'll live life with no limits
We'll dance in the fire and bathe in the rain
We're gonna reach the finish
Tonight will get us but we'll get further stream
Us together, stand the stormy weather
We're gonna be alright tonight, tonight

[Chorus]
Just hold tight
As long as you're by my side
Hold tight
Everything's gonna be alright
I know we'll find a way
We'll walk through the seas and we'll smile again
I know we'll find a way
But for tonight, hold tight
So tonight, so tonight, hold tight
So tonight, so tonight, tonight, tonight

[Bridge]
A million miles later
We've walked through the valleys and found a haven
We let no one dictate us
We're tainted and bruised so there's no point saving
Us together whatever the weather, yeah
You're gonna be alright tonight, tonight

[Chorus]
Just hold tight
As long as you're by my side
Hold tight
Everything's gonna be alright
I know we'll find a way
We'll walk through the seas and we'll smile again
I know we'll find a way
But for tonight, hold tight
So tonight, so tonight, hold tight
So tonight, so tonight, tonight, tonight

Uzoechi Emenike, better known by his stage name MNEK, is a British singer, songwriter and record producer. Alongside his own work as a recording artist, he has produced and co-written hits for the likes of Madonna, Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, Little Mix, Stormzy, Jax Jones and Zara Larsson.

Initially uploading his self-produced demos to MySpace and Soundcloud, he was noticed by the production house Xenomania–the brains behind the bulk of Girls Aloud’s tracks–and worked with the team on a number of songs in 2011. One of these, “All Fired Up”, went on to be recorded by girl group The one of the lines he wrote (“keep me on your radar”) inspired the parent album’s title. He also worked extensively with Rudimental and A*M*E throughout 2012.

In late 2013, he made his breakthrough appearance on the song “Ready for Your Love” by Gorgon City, which became his first of three UK top 10 singles. His debut EP Small Talk followed in April 2015, which included his UK top 40 single “The Rhythm” and his official solo debut, “Every Little Word”. “Never Forget You”, a collaboration with Zara Larsson, would later become a US top 20 hit, while also reaching #1 in Sweden.
