Got a Hold on Me

"Got a Hold on Me" is a song by Christine McVie, released as the lead single from her eponymous second solo album in 1984. Synthesizers on the track were played by Steve Winwood, while the guitars were played by Todd Sharp (the song's co-writer) and McVie's Fleetwood Mac bandmate Lindsey Buckingham. George Hawkins handled some of the song's background vocals. Sharp recalled that he wrote the song with McVie section by section over the course of thirty minutes and had identified the song's commercial viability upon hearing the first verse.
