Interesting facts and trivia about Hanging On. By Songfacts®.

The first song to be released by British Electropop singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding's second studio album features her fellow Brit, rapper Tinie Tempah. She released the song as a free download, accompanied with a brief message: "Here's the beginning of my new journey. Enjoy and share responsibly." The influence of her dubstep-influenced EDM producer boyfriend Skrillex is apparent.

The song is a cover of Active Child's track of the same name. Active Child is the working name of American electronic-meets-choral artist Pat Grossi and the tune originally featured on his 2011 album, You Are All I See. Grossi was impressed with Goulding's interpretation and told the press that it is "an incredibly proud moment for me as an artist."

This is not the first collaboration between Ellie Goulding and Tinie Tempah. The songstress previously provided guest vocals on Tempah's hit single, "Wonderman."
