"Bottle Living" / "Hold On" are two songs by English singer Dave Gahan, released on 27 October 2003 as a double A-side single from his debut studio album, Paper Monsters (2003), serving as the album's third and final single. The single release of "Hold On" is a "radio mix" and has a slightly faster pace and more prominent rhythm track than that of the more placid album version of the song.

The UK limited-edition CD maxi single contains a remixed version of "Hidden Houses", another album track, as a B-side.
