Don't Wanna Go Home

DeRulo explained the song’s message to MTV News: "I wanted to write a song that people could escape their problems, their pain, their turmoil, and by doing a feel-good song, I'm doing just that. You don't have to write a song about saving the world to do just that. We created this new age party-smasher." (Source Don't Wanna Go Home Songfacts).
