"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.
