Hang On to Your Love (Jason Donovan song)

1990 single by Jason Donovan

"Hang On to Your Love" is a 1990 song by Australian singer Jason Donovan. It was released on 8 March 1990 as the second single from his second album Between the Lines, on which it appears as the second track. Written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, the song was accompagnied by a music video directed by Paul Goldman. The B-side, "You Can Depend on Me", is not another track from the Between the Lines album, but features on Donovan's previous album, Ten Good Reasons. It became a top ten hit in the UK and in Ireland, but was not officially released in Australia, following the tepid response to Donovan's prior single, "When You Come Back to Me".[1]
