"I'll Never Let You Go", also known as "I'll Never Let You Go (Angel Eyes)", was the second single from Steelheart's self-titled 1990 debut, a power ballad that became a number 23 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 for the American glam metal band and also made 24 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

Miljenko Matijevic wrote it alone and sings it, with Chris Risola and Frank DiCostanzo on guitars, James Ward on bass and John Fowler on drums. Mark Opitz produced, and Paul Northfield recorded and mixed it. It's a ballad that goes all in on the big moment, and no Steelheart single has charted higher since.
