Songfacts®:

  • Tre Reynolds is a DJ and producer from Liverpool, UK, whose mother introduced him to Chicago House through Britain's 1990s rave culture, while his father was a hip-hop fan - a dual influence that shapes his bass-heavy, vocal-driven sound. He got into producing after attending his first rave in Liverpool and teaching himself using FL Studio (Fruity Loops) on his father's old PC. "Don't Go (Don't Leave)" is his first entry in the UK Singles Top 100.
  • The song is a deep/tech house track built around a sample of Wretch 32's 2011 UK #1 "Don't Go." Consequently, Tre Reynolds shares songwriting credits with the original "Don't Go" team: Wretch 32, Josh Kumra, and Rachel "Maiday" Moulde.
  • The track is built around Josh Kumra's vocal that pleads with a lover not to leave. This emotional directness, wrapped inside a driving house groove, is a hallmark of Reynolds' style; he noted to Liverpool Music City that his music is both suitable for casual listening and effective on the dance floor.
