"Don't Stop" is a song written by singer Christine McVie, for her group Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours. It was the third single released from their 1977 Rumours album. It is one of the band's most enduring hits. It was famously used by US presidential candidate Bill Clinton for his first campaign. He persuaded the then-disbanded group to reform to perform it for his inaugural ball in 1993.

[edit] Background and writing

"Don't Stop" reflects Christine's feelings after her separation from John McVie. "Don't Stop was just a feeling. It just seemed to be a pleasant revelation to have that 'yesterday's gone,'" Christine remembers in The Fleetwood Mac Story: Rumours and Lies, "It might have, I guess, been directed more toward John, but I'm just definitely not a pessimist."
