The inspiration behind « Hold on Honey » came from a unique task: writing a song to her younger self. During this transformative period, Bishop met and married her ex-husband. As she penned the lyrics and melody, she felt a profound connection, describing the creative process as if « heaven handed each element of the song » to her.
The song’s impact was immediately evident as Bishop performed it at her shows, with audience members approaching her in tears, expressing how the song resonated with them as if « heaven was speaking directly to them. » This overwhelming response fueled Bishop’s determination to share the song with a broader audience.
« Hold on Honey » serves as a poignant reminder that there is light at the end of the tunnel, encouraging listeners to recognize the purpose behind the hardships and valleys in life. The song conveys a message of perseverance, growth, and self-discovery, emphasizing that navigating challenges leads to becoming the best version of oneself.
Reflecting on her own experiences, Bishop shares, « I have walked through my own valley, medicated with heaven throughout the way, and have become a person I only dreamed I would be. My hope is that anybody who listens to this song, no matter where they are in the valley, will see a bright future ahead of them if they can just hold on honey. »
« Hold on Honey » will be available on all major streaming platforms starting March 8. Don’t miss the chance to experience this captivating and soul-stirring anthem that speaks to the universal journey of resilience and hope.
