"If You Go Away" is a song by pop group New Kids on the Block, although the group was listed as NKOTB. The lead vocals were sung by Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre. It was spoken by Danny Wood. It was released as a single in early 1992 and was included on their greatest hits album H.I.T.S. and was later included on their 1994 album Face the Music.
The song peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 on the UK Singles Chart. The group performed the song on The Arsenio Hall Show, while addressing an alleged lip-synching controversy. The single was the group's last hit until the release of the top 40 hit "Summertime" in 2008.
