Who had a hit with the tune "Don't Wanna Go Home"?

Jason Derulo had a hit with the tune "Don't Wanna Go Home." The song was released in 2011 as the lead single from his second studio album, Future History.

The track blends dance-pop and electropop with a prominent club beat. Its chorus incorporates the familiar "Day-O" refrain associated with Harry Belafonte's "The Banana Boat Song," while the production also uses elements of Robin S.'s 1993 house hit "Show Me Love."

"Don't Wanna Go Home" became one of Derulo's biggest early international successes. It reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, making it his second consecutive British chart-topper after "In My Head," and it reached No. 14 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

A common mix-up is to credit Harry Belafonte or Robin S. because of the recognizable musical references. They influenced the song, but Jason Derulo is the recording artist who released the hit.
