The song “Don’t Let Me Go” by Asa is about fear, the fear of losing love, fear of slipping into loneliness, fear of being forgotten by someone who once made the world feel safe. Asa isn’t begging; she is confessing.
She allows herself to be open in a way many people avoid. Every line feels like a plea wrapped in dignity, a delicate balance between wanting to be held and not wanting to appear desperate. This emotional tension is what gives the track its quiet power.

Don't let me go
Don't let me go now darling
Want you to hold me
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go now darling
Want you to want me
Don't let me go
There comes a time in our lives
So many fights
And lonely nights
You say we are over
And you never wanna look back
Don't let me go
Oh
Don't let me go
Don't let me go now darling
Want you to need me
Don't let me go
Don't let me go now
Don't let me go now darling
Want you to want me
Don't let me go
There comes a time in our lives
Swallow my pride
And apologize
You say we are over
And you never wanna look back
Don't let me go
Oh oh oh
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Oh
Don't let me go
Oh oh oh
