The song "Nothing Holding Me Back Mashup" by Julia Cole combines lyrics from three different songs: "Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay, "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" by Shawn Mendes, and "Craving You" by Thomas Rhett ft. Maren Morris. The mashup starts with the lyrics from "Something Just Like This," where the narrator expresses that they don't need a superhero or a perfect fairy-tale love, but just someone they can turn to and kiss. It conveys the desire for a simple yet fulfilling relationship. Then, the lyrics transition to "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" where the narrator talks about their intense feelings for someone who makes them go crazy. The person they're attracted to breaks down their inhibitions and takes them to places that challenge their reputation. Despite that, there's nothing holding them back from embracing the whirlwind romance. The chorus is repeated multiple times in "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" to emphasize the exhilarating feeling of being with someone who brings out their wild side and fearlessly pursues what they desire. The mashup concludes with a brief inclusion of the chorus from "Craving You." In these lyrics, the narrator compares their love interest to a craving they can't resist, like a cigarette or a strong drink. No matter how much they try to satisfy their craving, they always want more of that person. Overall, the mashup blends these songs together to showcase themes of longing, irresistible attraction, and the desire to break free from inhibitions. It captures the excitement and intensity of being in a relationship where nothing holds them back.
