"If You're Gone" is a song by the rock band Matchbox Twenty. It was the second single off "Mad Season". The song, written by Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas, became a top 10 hit on adult contemporary radio. Reaching #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, it is the band's second best-ranking song, preceded by the single "Bent" from the same album. The song was one of the few Matchbox Twenty songs that was consistently played on Rob Thomas' solo tour, and remains an adult contemporary radio staple almost nine years after its release. In fact, Rob had recently confessed during his current tour with Matchbox Twenty that he initially wrote this song just to write it; he never dreamed of it going out on an album, let alone being a huge success. The horn-driven outro of "If You're Gone" borrows heavily (note for note) from "When the Rainbow Comes" by World Party from their 1990 release "Goodbye Jumbo".

Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Pedro Romhanyi, is filmed completely in black and white and only features the band (along with three trumpet players) performing on top of a building at night. Halfway through the video, Rob Thomas steps onto the edge of the roof and spreads his arms like he's going to jump. He doesn't; he turns around and goes back to where the band are playing. Near the end of the video, the sun dawns and illuminates the rooftop and surrounding buildings in the city.
