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

This mid-tempo, soulful song was dominated by Katie Underwood who provided most of the main vocals, with Sophie Monk's high-pitched backing vocals providing harmonies throughout the track. Bardot did not perform the song after Underwood's mid-2001 departure for this reason. The single debuted at number 15 on the ARIA Singles Chart, peaking one place higher at number 14 and was certified gold.

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.

The music video is semi-animated. It features the group in a recording studio flying through space before transforming into animated superheroes who's 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.
