Greyson Chance has released the official music video for his latest single, ‘Hold On ‘Til the Night’, the title track from his debut album.

The black and white video made its television debut Friday on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, where Greyson appeared as a special surprise guest to talk about the music video and its special message: encouraging kids to be themselves and speak their minds.

Greyson recently took to his Tumblr to share his insights on the video: “I shot the video all in black and white and created something that was more artsy and uplifting. This video is about lighting up a new generation.”

Greyson Chance is giving fans a special sneak peak of his ‘Hold On ‘Til the Night’ music video with a brand new behind the scenes clip. The video for ‘Hold On ‘Til the Night’ premiere on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ earlier today.

“This song is really special to me,” Greyson said about the track. “When I was writing it in the studio, it’s one of those kind of power anthems. It’s about being strong and being courageous.”

Describing the video scene, Greyson said, “We have some really weird things going on. We have trees, we have pianos, we have light bulbs flashing everywhere. It’s gonna be really exciting.”

“I think the video is all about enlightenment, as you can see. I think it’s about courage and it’s also like you’re in a different world right now.”

Directors Dano Cerny and Marielle Tepper of Hyperballad also shared their thoughts about the video. “This song is all about enlightenment, it’s all about shedding light, and feeling powerful, so we kind of came up with this cool concept to do an installation piece using light bulbs and keep it just really simple, but also something that symbolizes a bigger universe out there. Like each kid is a light bulb. Each kid is a beacon of hope,” Cerny explained.

Cerny said of a particular scene, “We came up with this really simple black and white concept, kind of inspired by Andy Warhol’s famous portrait screen test and we kind of just wanted to do very raw, real, simple. Even in the darkest moments, beautiful things can come out of it. It’s all about even through those dark times, if you hold on to the night, there is light to be had at the end of the tunnel.”

‘Hold On ‘Til the Night’ is the title track from Greyson’s recently released debut album of the same name, available now in stores and online.

Greyson Chance sat down with ‘Good Day LA’ this week to discuss his guest role as young Jimmy Chance on ‘Raising Hope’, as well as his recent tour in Asia and his dream of appearing on Glee. Watch the interview via MyFoxLA.com below and watch Greyson guest star on tonight’s episode of ‘Raising Hope’ on FOX at 9:30/8:30c.

“I was very skeptical about putting it on YouTube actually,” Greyson said about his cover of ‘Paparazzi’ by Lady Gaga for a school talent show. “Just kind of for the heck of it (I put it up), and then from there it just let to, I got signed to a record label and I released my album.”

On rumors of a ‘Glee’ appearance, he said, “Hopefully, please spread them. I would love to be on ‘Glee’ and it’s the same network as FOX. That would definitely be something I’d like to do. I’m a huge fan of the show.”

Talking about his online education, Greyson said, “I can do it on my BlackBerry and my computer. They check up on me. I actually have to finish here in two weeks and I’m very scared because I’m a little bit behind. I’ve been procrastinating just a tad bit, but now it’s two weeks and I’m like, ‘I have to go, I have to go!'”

Discussing his role models, he said, “Musically I’m really inspired by a lot of different people. I’m really inspired actually by Steve Perry from Journey. I’m a huge Journey fan and I just really like him a lot and everything that he’s done in the music industry. I love Gaga of course too. I love Coldplay.”

Mentioning his popularity in Asia, Greyson said, “Actually, to be very honest with you, the ‘Paparazzi’ thing is not really that big. It really didn’t catch on there. It was the album, which is really quite weird because everyone in the U.S. knows me for the ‘Paparazzi’ but also for the album.”

Greyson’s new video for ‘Hold On Til The Night’, the title track from his recent debut album, will premiere this Friday on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’.

After becoming a YouTube sensation with his performance of Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi’ at an Oklahoma talent show, 14 year old Greyson Chance unveiled a cover song of another Gaga hit, ‘Yoü and I’. She tweeted the video to her followers last weekend, saying “What a sweetie @greysonchance did a beautiful cover of ‘Yoü and I’. It gave me chills!” Watch it via YouTube below.
