CD single[5]
There is a version "For Promotional Use Only"[6] sometimes referred to as a DJ single, with just the song and a brief "CALLOUT".
The music video for "Don't Go" was directed by Rainbows & Vampires and is set in New York City, with references to subways, 43rd Street, and CBGB in both the song and video.[7] The video starred Dobson and Drake Bell running away from two unidentified men in black suits and culminates with Dobson performing the song on-stage at CBGB.
