A Billboard editor noted it features some electric guitar and `` strained '' vocals on the chorus. As the upbeat track progresses, it incorporates handclaps, funky guitar riffs, and foot - tapping bass. The pre-chorus was inspired by early works of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. Critical reception Writing for Billboard, Taylor Weatherby noted `` the song 's sound falls right in line with the guitar - laced goodness he brought on his sophomore effort, but this time bringing in a little more edge. '' Allison Bowsher for Much opined the sound `` is a return to the earworms that launched Mendes ' career back in 2015. Reminiscent of the high energy pop sensibilities of Mendes ' `` Something Big, '' today 's new track plays with lifts and falls throughout, allowing Mendes to show off the strength of his voice. '' In MTV News, Madeline Roth thought the track is `` more danceable than anything in his catalog. His voice is gritty and hoarse, especially on the passionate, aggressive hook. '' Live performances `` There 's Nothing Holdin ' Me Back '' is featured on the Illuminate World Tour setlist. The singer performed the single on The Graham Norton Show on June 9, 2017, at Capital FM 's Summertime Ball 2017 on June 10, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 19 and at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on August 27.
