"'Please Don't Go'" is a song by American recording artist Mike Posner, released as the second single from his debut album '31 Minutes to Takeoff' (2010). Posner co-wrote and co-produced the song with Benny Blanco. J Records released the single to contemporary hit radio in the United States on June 9, 2010. The song peaked at number 16 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, giving Posner his second top 40 hit on that chart. It also peaked at numbers 9, 18, and 30, on the Mainstream Top 40, Rhythmic, and Adult Top 40 charts, respectively. It managed to peak within the top 40 in countries like Austria, Canada, Germany and New Zealand. A remix of the song features American rapper Waka Flocka Flame.
Composition
Posner co-wrote and produced the song alongside Benny Blanco. Posner's lyrics plead for his girlfriend not to leave him, while his production with Blanco is uptempo and contains prominent synth-pop and trance characteristics. In addition, Blanco provides background vocals in the chorus. The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea and engineered by John Hanes and Tim Roberts.

In the United States, the song debuted at number 94 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 and reached number 16. It also reached number 9 on the 'Billboard' Pop Songs chart. As of January 2011, 1,000,000 copies had been purchased.

In 2021, the song experienced a resurgence on TikTok where users would wear a scarf and glasses and drive in a car.
