"Never Leave You" is a song composed and performed by Tinchy Stryder. The song, written by Taio Cruz is the fourth single from Stryder's second studio album, Catch 22 as a digital download on 2 August 2009 and then as a CD single on 3 August 2009. It features guest vocals by Amelle Berrabah, a member of British girl group, the Sugababes and received airplay on many radio stations in the UK including BBC 1Xtra. "Never Leave You" has also reached "The A-List" on the BBC Radio 1 playlist. The music video was released on Stryder's official website on 24 June 2009. On 9 August 2009, "Never Leave You" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart.

"Never Leave You" is a midtempo alternative hip hop-Europop song with grime influences. The song was originally picked to be Stryder's first single from his album Catch 22, but Number 1 was chosen instead. The song was Amelle's first solo release outside of pop group Sugababes. The song became Stryder's second number 1 hit with his album Catch 22, it also became Amelle's first number 1 single as a solo artist.

The song appeared in many different collection albums, including R&B Love Collection Summer 2009, it was also featured on Now That's What I Call Music! 74.

On the surface ‘Never Leave You’ is about Stryder telling a girl how he’s going to be with her forever, but beneath the surface its sentiments are directed towards his original fans, his East London roots, to grime music and to memories of growing up in his neighbourhood. According to the producer Fraser T Smith, "it's a song about success and staying true to yourself."
