"Don't!" is a song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the second single released from her 2004 Greatest Hits album. The song was written by Shania and her husband, Mutt Lange. "Don't!" underperformed on most charts, mostly due to no promotion by Shania and very little by the label. The highest it made was number 10 airplay in Canada. The song was also included in the film An Unfinished Life, and the Brazilian soap opera América.^[1]

The music video for "Don't!" was shot in Oaxaca, Mexico at an abandoned hotel and Yucca plantation. It was filmed on October 24, 2004^[2] and released December 30, 2004, it was directed by Wayne Isham. In the video Twain is riding around on her horse through rows of Yucca, and walking around within the hotel, near the end of the video you can see a tear running down Shania's face. The video is available on some of the commercial singles for "Don't!". In 2006, CMT Canada named "Don't!" the eighth sexiest country music video.
