==Overview==
Rivers Cuomo wrote the song while Weezer was on tour in Europe in 2005.
[[Weezer]] lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] wrote "I Don't Want to Let You Go" song while Weezer was [[Make Believe Tour#Europe|on tour]] in Europe in [[2005]]. Cuomo is proud of the song, and he put it on the [[4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo list]]. It was most likely demoed in sessions for ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)]]'', but then did not receive enough support from the rest of the band to be placed on an album until after its release on ''Alone II''. "[[Can't Stop Partying]]" went through a similar process, as it was also released on ''Alone II'' prior to being released on ''Raditude''.
