"Don't Let Them" is a song by American singer Ashanti. It was written by Ashanti along with its producers Irv Gotti and Demetrius "Demi-Doc" McGhee for her third studio album, Concrete Rose (2004). The song contains interpolations from "Could I Be Falling in Love" (1974) by American blues and soul singer Syl Johnson. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Willie Mitchell, Yvonne Mitchell, Earl Randle, and Lawrence Seymour are also credited as songwriters.
The song was selected as the album's second and final single and only released in the United States, where it failed to chart, and the United Kingdom, reaching the number 38 on the UK Singles Chart. The song also gained minimal success in Ireland, peaking at 41 on the Irish Singles Chart.
