Håll om mig, written by Ingela Forsman and Nanne Grönvall, is a song performed by Nanne Grönvall at Melodifestivalen 2005. The song won a late 2004 contest, as very songs with few female songwriters had been selected for Melodifestivalen. The song was performed for first time in the 4th Melodifestivalen semifinal, inside Växjö tipshall in Växjö on 5 March 2005. From the semifinal, the song went all the way to the final inside the Stockholm Globe Arena one week later. The song became popular among the audience, and was expected to win the final. After the votings, the song received most votes from the TV viewers, but the jury groups appointed the Martin Stenmarck song Las Vegas as winner. Håll om mig ended up second, three points after the winning song.
