"Don't Wanna Go Home" is a song by American recording artist Jason Derulo, released as the lead single from his second studio album, Future History, on May 23, 2011. The song was written by Derulo, Chaz Mishan, David Delazyn, William Attaway, Irving Burgie, Allen George and Fred McFarlane. It was produced by The Fliptones. The song is an up-tempo electropop and dance-pop song that samples Robin S.' 1993 single "Show Me Love" and incorporates an interpolation of Harry Belafonte's 1956 single, "Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)".
"Don't Wanna Go Home" received mixed reviews; some music critics praised its production and lyrics, while others claimed it lacked originality. In the United States, "Don't Wanna Go Home" peaked at number fourteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and at number four on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. It also attained top 20 positions across Europe and in Australia and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom, "Don't Wanna Go Home" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Derulo's second consecutive number-one single in Britain following "In My Head" (2010). The accompanying music video was directed by Rich Lee, and features Derulo in various dance sequences and a cameo appearance by Melody Thornton.

Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote that, "Compared to his last few mediocre offerings, this single actually seems to have some fire" courtesy of the samples in the song.

[The video features] these creatures who can't get enough of this amazing party. But it's not a club – it's a warehouse and we live here." On May 23, 2011, a 30-second teaser of the music video was released online, showing Derulo dancing with former Pussycat Dolls member, Melody Thornton.{{cite web |url=http://www.rap-up.com/2011/05/23/sneak-peek-jason-derulo-dont-wanna-go-home/ |title=Sneak Peek: Jason Derulo – 'Don't Wanna Go Home' |work=Rap-Up |publisher=Devin Lazerine |date=May 23, 2011 |access-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110528013903/http://www.rap-up.com/2011/05/23/sneak-peek-jason-derulo-dont-wanna-go-home/ |url-status=live }} The video premiered on MTV on May 25, 2011.{{cite web |url=http://www.rap-up.com/2011/05/25/video-jason-derulo-dont-wanna-go-home/ |title=Video: Jason Derulo – 'Don't Wanna Go Home' |work=Rap-Up |publisher=Devin Lazerine |date=May 25, 2011 |access-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-date=May 28, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110528035914/http://www.rap-up.com/2011/05/25/video-jason-derulo-dont-wanna-go-home |url-status=live }}
The video opens in an industrial warehouse, and shows Derulo reclining on a couch while his friends are passed out beside, around and on top of him. As he sings a portion of the song's chorus, Derulo reminisces about the previous night. The scene then shifts to Thornton, who is still awake standing on the other side of the warehouse surrounded by smoke. Derulo then stands up and walks towards her while performing solo dance moves. During the chorus, the two begin to do sexual dance routines together and eventually everyone wakes up. Derulo can then be seen doing various choreographed routines with male and female back-up dancers, as the crowd surrounding them hold up flashlights. In the final scene, a fire sprinkler in the warehouse goes off, and Derulo and his female dancers continue dancing. Towards the end of the video, the crowd ends up dancing with each other, while Derulo dances with a female. A writer for MTV News commented that the video could have easily starred Kesha, Jennifer Lopez or Britney Spears, and described it as being "glossy and fun, a complete reflection of the tune's party-anthem vibe."{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1664562/jason-derulo-dont-wanna-go-home-video.jhtml |title=Jason Derulo Throws Never-Ending Party In 'Don't Wanna Go Home' Video |publisher=MTV News.
