"Don't Go" is the first single released by Irish rock group Hothouse Flowers from their 1988 album People. It is their most successful single worldwide, reaching the top 10 in New Zealand and Sweden and the top 40 in other European countries. In the band's native Ireland, the song peaked at number two on the IRMA Singles Chart, their highest chart position until the release of their next single "Feet On the Ground", which reached number one. In the United States, the song did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but reached numbers 7 and 16 on the Alternative Songs and Mainstream Rock Songs charts, respectively.
In 2005, Shane Lynch released a cover version of the song.
The song was performed by the Hothouse Flowers as the interval act of the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest held in Dublin, Ireland. The song is featured on an episode of the Irish sitcom Moone Boy.
