Trivia

Interesting facts about Don't Leave Me (Ne me quitte pas). By Songfacts.

This is a new version of "Ne me quitte pas," which was originally a vocal and piano piece from Spektor's 2002 album Songs. The updated tune was programmed by Pop and Hip-Hop producer Mike Elizondo, who worked with Spektor on several tracks on her 2009 album Far. "The imagery she uses lends itself to having a lot of fun in the studio with the arrangements," he told American Songwriter magazine. "She's unbelievable in terms of her vocals and her musicality. She can do anything, which enables you as a producer to do anything. You're like a kid in a candy store."


The What We Saw From The Cheap Seats makeover features the addition of steel drums and trombone. Spektor told UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph: "When I was hanging out with Nikolai [Fraiture, the Strokes' bassist] and his kids, I totally realised my dream for that song is for it to become a limbo anthem. I would just be in the dreamiest of realities if children would play it at parties and limbo down."


The song's Gil Norton directed music video finds Spektor in a fancy apartment, playing around in a series of shots.
