Faithless took it slow and soulful on "Don't Leave", a downtempo ballad from their 1996 debut album Reverence that went out as the record's third single. Jamie Catto wrote it with Rollo and Sister Bliss, and those two produced and mixed it with engineer Dave Burnham, Sister Bliss adding keyboards. The voices belong to Catto, Pauline Taylor and Dido, Rollo's sister, with Taylor and Dido on backing vocals.
It first reached 34 on the UK Singles Chart, but the real second wind came in 1997, when it landed on the soundtrack of A Life Less Ordinary, a romantic black comedy. A lightly remixed reissue followed, pushing it to a new UK high of 21, and it charted in Australia, the Netherlands and New Zealand as well.
