"Don't Let Go (Love)" is a song by the American R&B group En Vogue. It was written by Ivan Matias, Andrea Martin, Marqueze Etheridge and produced by Organized Noize and Ivan Matias for the Set It Off soundtrack (1996), also appearing on the group's third album, EV3 (1997). The song was the band's last released single with Dawn Robinson and was En Vogue's biggest international single, peaking in the top ten of many countries. According to Billboard, the single ranked as the 83rd most successful single of the 1990s.

Background

"Don't Let Go (Love)" was written by Andrea Martin, Ivan Matias, Marqueze Ethridge, and Organized Noize members Sleepy Brown, Rico Wade, and Ray Murray, while production was by Organized Noize.[1] Vocal production was overseen by Matias.[1] Dawn Robinson sings the entire lead while Maxine Jones performs the bridge. Cindy Herron performs a line to the bridge. Terry Ellis sings outro lyrics in the music video version only. Martin Terry and Tommy Martin played the guitars on the song, while drums were played by Lil' John.[1] Marvin "Chanz" Parkman played the grand piano.[1]

Commercial performance

"Don't Let Go (Love)" became the third En Vogue track to peak at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 where it was the group's fifth and final Top Ten hit. It was blocked from the top spot by Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart". The song was a #1 R&B song for one week becoming En Vogue's sixth and final #1 R&B Hit. It reached #5 in the UK in early 1997 and spent 13 weeks in the UK top 40, eight of them in the top ten. The single re-entered the UK chart at number 23 in 2011 after the girl group Little Mix performed the song on the eighth series of the British television talent contest, The X Factor, on November 19, 2011. The En Vogue track reached #23 on the UK chart and also returned to the Irish charts at #50. In 1997, "Don't Let Go (Love)" went to number one on the Norwegian top 20 singles chart (VG-Lista Topp 20) and stayed there for six consecutive weeks. In total, it was in the top 20 for 16 weeks.

The single sold 1.3 million copies in the United States and was certified platinum by the RIAA.[2][3] In October 2011, NME placed it at number 127 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[4] The song was used in the 1996 movie Set It Off.

Music video

A music video for "Don't Let Go (Love)" was directed by Matthew Rolston using the Alan Smithee pseudonym. It was En Vogue's third collaboration with Rolston following "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" and "Whatta Man".[5]

Unlike the film Set It Off, which was set in Los Angeles, California, the clip is set in New York City. It shows all four band members singing in front of an audience in black outfits while some clips of the movie are inserted. A second video was released using the same footage of En Vogue singing in front of an audience, but the scenes from Set It Off are replaced with images that followed a new storyline. In this version, Mekhi Phifer plays a man who has been secretly dating all four members of En Vogue. The four women find out about each other and confront Phifer's character through their performance at a party.[5]
