"Ne partez pas sans moi" ("Don't Leave Without Me") is the Swiss winning entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, performed by the Canadian Celine Dion. It was released as a single in Europe in May 1988. Dion performed Ne partez pas sans moi for 600 million viewers worldwide at the contest.
The song was composed by Turkish songwriter Atilla Şereftuğ and Swiss composer Nella Martinetti. It won Eurovision with 137 points, beating the United Kingdom entry "Go" performed by Scott Fitzgerald by just one point in one of the closest finishes in Eurovision history. It is considered to be one of the most popular Eurovision entries, mainly because of Dion's subsequent international success. While the single sold 200,000 copies in Europe in two days and over 300,000 copies in total, it is one of the less commercially successful Eurovision winners. It was the first winning song not to be released in the UK or in Ireland.
"Ne partez pas sans moi" was also included on Dion's 1988 album The Best of Celine Dion released in Europe (June 1988). The song appeared in Canada as B-side to "D'abord, c'est quoi l'amour". It also appeared on the French version of Dion's Incognito album. Later, it was included in her French compilation album On ne change pas.
A music video was released in 1988.
Dion also recorded a German version of "Ne partez pas sans moi", called "Hand in Hand".
