No Holdin' Back is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Randy Travis. It was released on September 26, 1989, by Warner Records. Three singles were released from it, all of which charted on the Hot Country Songs charts: the Number One hits "It's Just a Matter of Time" and "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart", as well as the No. 2 hit "He Walked on Water". "It's Just a Matter of Time" was previously a Number One hit for Brook Benton in 1959 on the R&B charts, and for Sonny James in 1970 on the country charts. Glen Campbell also had a No. 7-peaking rendition of the song in 1986.

The track "Somewhere in My Broken Heart" was co-written by Billy Dean, who would later cut it for his 1990 album Young Man and release it as that album's third single. Also included is a cover of "Singing the Blues", a song originally recorded by Marty Robbins.
