"Don't Go (Girls and Boys)" is a song written and recorded by Canadian singer Fefe Dobson with producer Jay Levine. It was released on May 25 2004, and serves as the fourth and final single from Dobson's self-titled debut album. Although it did not appear on the initial release of the album, the song was appended to later pressings.[1] The song was featured in a 2004 Tommy Hilfiger commercial that starred Dobson.[2] [3]
Rashaun Hall of Billboard wrote that "Don't Go (Girls and Boys)" is "as nostalgic as it is catchy" and is an "instantly infectious jam."[4]
CD single
There is a version "For Promotional Use Only"[5] sometimes referred to as a DJ single, with just the song and a brief "CALLOUT".
The music video for "Don't Go" was directed by Rainbows & Vampires and is set in New York City, with references to subways, 43rd Street, and CBGB in both the song and video.[6] The video starred Dobson and Drake Bell running away from two unidentified men in black suits and culminates with Dobson performing the song on-stage at CBGB.
