"If You Go" is a song written by 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, 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 Record'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]
