"Don't Let Them" is the second and final single from Ashanti's third studio album, Concrete Rose (2004). The single was only released in the US, where it failed to chart, and the UK, reaching the Number 35 in the first week, but soon disappeared off the UK Charts, peaking at the Number 80 in the second week, and being out in the 3rd week, also samples Raekwon's Heaven or Hell. Although the song was a favorite among many, Ashanti fans didn't support the song after Def Jam refused to pay for a video for the fan favored and rumored 2nd single, "Don't Leave Me Alone". It is said that the singer came out of pocket to deliver a second single, "Don't Let Them", to her fans. The single also gained minimal success in Ireland, peaking at 41.
