"Love drunk you and I would die sober/ I'm in this for forever and a day," he insists to his missus over minimal, plodding beats.

"So don't go, don't leave/ Please stay with me/ You're the only thing I need to get by," guest vocalist Josh Kumra croons on the lighter-waving chorus; the result is not as instant as his previous offerings, but easily his most infectious yet. {{rating|4|5}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/singlesreviews/a332389/wretch-32-ft-josh-kumra-dont-go.html|work=[[Digital Spy]]|publisher=digitalspy.co.uk|author=Robert Copsey|title=Wretch 32 ft.
