"Please Don't Go Girl" is a 1988 song by American boyband New Kids on the Block. The lead vocals were sung by Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, and spoken by Danny Wood, but the majority of the lyrics were sung by Joey McIntyre. Written and produced by Maurice Starr, it was the first release from their second album, Hangin' Tough (1988), and also became the group's first commercial hit.[3] "Please Don't Go Girl" first rose from #62 to #46, on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart during the week of July 30, 1988. The single was the first major commercial exposure of the group, resulting in somewhat of a slow, but steady climb. The single eventually peaked at #10 the week of October 8, 1988. In 1997, Aaron Carter covered this song and was featured on his international self-titled debut album.

Lyrics

The song tells about a man who requests a woman he loves not to go away as she is his whole world, and he promises to love her until the end of time.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media described "Please Don't Go Girl" as "slick and smouldering soul, written and produced by Maurice Starr."[1]

Music video

The first available music video for "Please Don't Go Girl" was shot at Coney Island, Brooklyn. However, the group's official website promotes another video that seems to have been recorded around the same time the other video was. This second video was shot in various places around Boston, including the Ruggles T station.[4][5]
