"Don't Walk Away" is a song by American singer Pat Benatar, which was released in 1988 as the second single from her eighth studio album Wide Awake in Dreamland.
The song was written by Nick Gilder and Duane Hitchings, and produced by Peter Coleman and Neil Giraldo.
It was Chrysalis' decision to release "Don't Walk Away" as a single from Wide Awake in Dreamland.
Benatar told Todd Everett of the King Features Syndicate, "'Don't Walk Away' is so typical of what they'd choose to release.
[4] Barry Young of The Press and Journal gave the single a two out of five star rating and wrote, "Benatar continues to produce ultra-American, drive-in teen rock with little relevance to this side of the Atlantic.
