"Never Let You Go" was the Greek entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed in English (the first time the Greek entry had not featured any lyrics in Greek) by Mando. The song is certified gold in Greece.^[1]

The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following Ukraine's Olexandr Ponomariov with Hasta La Vista and preceding Norway's Jostein Hasselgård with I'm Not Afraid To Move On). At the close of voting, it had received 25 points, placing 17th in a field of 26.

The song is a dramatic ballad, with the singer telling her lover all the things she would do for him, but emphasising that she would "never let you go".

For her Eurovision appearance, Mando wore an unusual navy blue gown, with a very tight lace-up bodice.

It was succeeded as Greek representative at the 2004 Contest by Sakis Rouvas with Shake It.
