"If You Go" is a song written by Cuban-born American singer-songwriter Jon Secada and Miguel Morejon, recorded for Secada's second English-language album, Heart, Soul & a Voice (1994). The song's lyrics detail a desire that a female subject not leave the singer, for, if she does, "there'll be something missing in [his] life." A Spanish version, "Si te vas", was also released for the Spanish-language market.

The song was released as a single on April 26, 1994 by SBK Records, peaking at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and becoming Secada's last top-10 single on the chart. In Canada, it topped The RecordTemplate:'s singles chart and the RPM Adult Contemporary chart. The music video for the Spanish version was nominated for a Lo Nuestro Award for Video of the Year at the 7th Lo Nuestro Awards.[1] Secada sung "If You Go" at the 1994 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony.[2]

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Any similarity between this first offering from Secada's new Heart, Soul & a Voice and his first top 40 hit, 'Just Another Day', is probably anything but a coincidence. From the swelling choir of inspirational backing vocals to the shuffling pop beat, this song oozes with familiarity. That is not likely to stop radio programmers or consumers from gobbling this up in a flash. Secada's flexing vocal has a degree of sincerity that contributes to making this a guilty pleasure."[3]
