YDG and Mike Posner deliver a bass-boosted version of “Please Don’t Go”
Mike Posner’s chart-topping single “Please Don’t Go” – originally released as the second single from his debut album 31 Minutes to Takeoff – gets a full-on transformation with a heavy dubstep take from reveled producer YDG, loaded with hard drops and a driving bassline.
Originally released in 2010, “Please Don’t Go” peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a defining pop-electro moment for Posner, co-written and co-produced with Benny Blanco. The track fused synth-pop and R&B-inflected rhythms, with lyrics pleading “Baby, please don’t go” that tapped into both emotional vulnerability and dancefloor momentum.
Now, YDG flips the track’s dynamic – preserving the haunting topline and emotive core, but layering in dubstep grit, rattling sub-drops, and an unrelenting low end designed for festival sets and club mayhem. The result: a version that not only honours the original but propels it into peak-time bass territory.
YDG adds; “I was both stoked and honored when I was asked to put my spin on this classic. I set out to make something that would stand out in any festival set and I think I did just that!”
With Mike’s legacy firmly established and his catalog already remixed across genres, this cover signals a deeper excavation of the emotional heart of “Please Don’t Go” through the language of bass music. Fans of the original will find something fresh and compelling; bass-heads will discover a familiar vocal transcended by grit and sonic weight.
YDG’s take of “Please Don’t Go” is out NOW on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak imprint.
