Don't Go - Commentary

"Don't Go," this is me and Bob again
Me and Bob writing
This is another me and, um, Big Bob studio session
Where he just pushed me to this place vocally
And helped, you know, just gave me the confidence
By telling me what everything I did that was Mary J. Blige was great
Of course, it's Chucky Thompson again
And, um, man, this song, this song, just really messes wit' me
Um, again, I'm, I'm beggin', don't leave me
It's consistent though, you know, the album's very heavy
And, and, um, oh, and another thing about this song
This was a Guy sample, um, sayin' "Bye bye"
That's the name of the—is he sayin' "Bye bye?"
What was the Guy song name?
"Even though I hate to leave, girl"
"Though I cry as I walk out the door"
What was the name?
"I can't believe that this is happenin' to us"
"We made vows to never be—" Joel
"Goodbye Love," "Goodbye Love"
That song was crazy
Guy had a crazy run, crazy album
And, so, when I heard this song I was losin' my mind
I mean, this, this album was, as dark as it is, we had so much fun makin' it
We had so much fun liftin' each other up
Makin' each other feel better
And, um, just, just the samples that we use
It just, they just uplifted us, they made us feel better
They, they, we could feel it some
"Don't Go," baby
