Speaking to NME Magazine, Bieber described the song as: “… a hopeful record of just holding on, because a lot of us want to give up at times. There’s a lot to look forward to. There’s a lot we can’t control sometimes, but there’s always hope.”

i think the song hold on is obviously for Justin bieber’s first love who is Selena Gomez
they have been on and of for almost a decade in their relationship and for them ending their relationship history was hard .BUT my question to bieber is why did he move on that fast and get married that fast after his breakup with Selena
