"I'd Die Without You" is a song by American R&B duo P.M. Dawn. The song first appeared on the soundtrack of the 1992 movie Boomerang and was one of several songs to chart from the album. The song later appeared on P.M. Dawn's own The Bliss Album...? (1993), and on their 2000 greatest hits collection, The Best of P.M. Dawn.

"I'd Die Without You" was released in October 1992 as the third single from the Boomerang soundtrack. It peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic charts in 1992. The Recording Industry Association of America awarded the song a Gold certification in November 1992 for selling over 500,000 copies. Internationally, the single peaked at number 10 in Canada and reached the top 50 in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

In 2002, the song was covered by Brandy and her brother Ray J for her album Full Moon. More recently, cover versions were recorded by Alicia Keys and Childish Gambino.
