"Don't Go Now" is a single by Australian indie pop band Ratcat, released in April 1991. It went peaked at 1 in Australia, becoming their second number-one single after the Tingles extended play (EP). Nick Mainsbridge was nominated for Engineer of the Year at the ARIA Music Awards of 1992 for "Don't Go Now".[1]
Double J named it in the top fifty Australian songs of the 1990s, saying, "Charming as its melody and sentiment were, the thought of something as punkish and vital as ‘Don't Go Now' sitting in the number one spot on the charts is beyond belief. It's got the basics of a perfect pop tune; Only difference is, this one has a bitchin' fuzz solo in the middle of it."[2]
On Australia's ARIA Singles Chart, "Don't Go Now" debuted at No. 8 and peaked at No. 1 six weeks later, spending 13 weeks in the top 50.
