"I Should've Never Let You Go" is a song by Australian female group Bardot, and was the second single from their debut album Bardot (2000). It was co-written by Lotti Golden, Hinda Hicks and Tommy Faragher and produced by Faragher.

The single debuted at number 15 on the ARIA Singles Chart, peaking one place higher at number 14 and was certified gold. It was the 96th-highest-selling single of Australia in 2000. In New Zealand, it peaked at number 25. The B-side "Do It for Love" is a cover version of a 1992 single by Dannielle Gaha, written by Paul Gray (ex-Wa Wa Nee) and R. Feldman. It was also recorded in Chinese by Prudence Liew as "Bei Ni Zong Huai" in 1993.

Music video[]

An animated scene of the music video.

The music video is semi-animated. It features the group in a recording studio flying through space before transforming into animated superheroes whose mission must defeat a giant green monster. In the end, they succeed, and once their mission is complete, return to their real-life selves. Bardot's then-manager, Michael Napthali, makes a small cameo, rounding up the girls back into the recording studio before the end of the song.
