Presley, who lives in Dronfield, will launch Hold My Hand on Friday, March 17. His dad James said: “We were on holiday in the south of France when Presley was about 11. He met a girl on the beach and they became friends … all he wanted to do was hold her hand.
"He wrote this song and recorded it with a producer, hopefully everyone loves it and it becomes a summer banger.”

His debut album, titled 13, was released in 2022 during a year in which Presley also launched three singles featuring original compositions.
Presley used songwriting to combat the boredom of the Covid lockdown in 2020. His parents encouraged him by buying a guitar for £30 from eBay.
He developed his singing through lessons with Joe Phipp-Pearson at Dronfield Music Tuition and released his first single, My Best Friend, about his dog Elvis in May 2021.
