"Don't Give Up" is a song by British electronic music artist Chicane featuring vocals from Canadian singer Bryan Adams.
"Don't Give Up" peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart and became a popular dance track in clubs across Europe and North America.
"[6] Adams's vocal credit was initially not publicised, particularly when the single, in a white label release, was first played by noted BBC Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong[4] on his 31 December 1999 Essential Selection show.
Dom Passantino of Stylus Magazine was mixed, saying "this is our Bryan's only entry to number one [in the UK Singles Chart in the 2000s], a far too obvious attempt at appealing to both Dave Pearce and Ken Bruce at the same time.
"[13] Tom Ewing of Freaky Trigger, although saying the song predicted the EDM boom of the 2010s, was also mixed, saying: "Inadvertently, the track hits on an idea – throaty, effortful bloke singing over formula builds and drops – that we will see an awful lot of in the early 2010s.
