"Don't Go" is the second single taken from the British new wave band Yazoo's debut album, Upstairs at Eric's. Released in the UK in July of 1982, the song peaked at #3 on the UK singles chart, becoming Yazoo's second top five hit. In the US, where the band was known as Yaz, the song was their second big hit on the American dance chart, where it spent two weeks at #1 in October of 1982. Their first American dance chart hit was "Situation", which had also gone to #1 on this chart earlier the same year. The music video for the song features band members Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke in a sort of haunted mansion.^[1]
