"Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" is a pop–dance song written by Bruno Alexandre, Matthieu Joly, James Khari, Dannii Minogue, Terry Ronald and Camille Troillard for Minogue's fourth album Neon Nights (2003). The song was produced by Neimo and Al Stone and like the "Neon Nights" package, received a positive reception from music critics. It was released as the third single in the summer of 2003 and reached the top-five in the United Kingdom and became Minogue's fourth top-five single release. It reached the top-twenty in Spain and the top-thirty in Australia. "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" was also successful on the dance charts, peaking at the top position on the UK Upfront Club chart and at number eight on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart.

Minogue released a mash-up version of "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling", retitling it "Don't Wanna Lose This Groove". The mash-up gained a lot of attention due to its sampling of Madonna's 1985 smash hit "Into the Groove", as Minogue become the first artist to receive permission from Madonna to sample her music. The mash up, in which Madonna's own vocals are audible, was conceptually a culmination of the 'Neon Nights" era of Dannii's career in which modern electronica was fused with 80's pop stylings. The low key video which accompanied the release bucked the high tech trend of the previous three Dannii videos, in favor of a sultry, neon filled night of dancing outdoors.
