"Don't Take My Sunshine Away" comes from Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain, the fourth Sparklehorse album, released by Astralwerks in September 2006 and the last Mark Linkous put out in his lifetime; he died in 2010. The record crept together over about five years at his Static King Studio in North Carolina, slowed by his depression, and Linkous said many of its songs were pop tunes he'd held back from 2001's It's a Wonderful Life because they felt out of time there.
He produced and mixed this one with Danger Mouse, who also plays sampler, and handles bass, guitar and synthesizer himself. Steven Drozd and Scott Minor both play drums, Sophie Michalitsianos gets the vocal credit, and Dave Fridmann had a hand in the recording.
