Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song "I'm Holdin' On to Love (To Save My Life)" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. It was released as the twelfth and final single from her double-Diamond certified third studio album Come on Over. It was written by Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Twain. The song was originally released to North American country radio stations on July 3, 2000.

With no promotional performances or CD single, the song was still able to reach considerable chart success. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100, becoming her second longest running single on the chart after "You Win My Love". It also reached number 17 on the US Hot Country Singles & Tracks and number 4 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks. It is also the only single from Come On Over to be released without an accompanying music video, staged or live.

"I'm Holdin' On to Love" was performed on the Come On Over Tour, in a medley on the Up! Tour, and on Twain's 2004 NBC special Up! Close and Personal. The song is commonly cited as a "fan favorite" from Twain's career, despite her not performing or mentioning the song in almost two decades.

Critical reception

Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying "This is one of those little tunes that pushes all the right buttons that Twain and Lange have engaged so successfully before. Look for it to follow its predecessors up the chart."[1]
