Don't Let Me Down (Leona Lewis song)
"Don't Let Me Down" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her second studio album ''Echo'' (2009). Lewis co-wrote the song with Mike Elizondo, James Fauntleroy, Justin Timberlake and Robin Tadross. It was produced by The Y's and co-produced by Elizondo. Lewis and Timberlake carried out the vocal production. Having wanted to work with Timberlake for a long time, the collaboration came to be after he had asked Lewis to perform at a charity concert he was holding in Las Vegas in October 2008. It was reported that they were going to cover Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You" as a duet, however they worked together on new songs for ''Echo'' instead, and "Don't Let Me Down" was created. Lewis revealed that her cover of "Run" inspired Timberlake.
Lyrically, the song is about making difficult decisions in life and trying to take control of situations. The song garnered a mixed response from music critics. While Lewis' vocal performance relieved unanimous praise, some felt that the track lacked any soul or emotion. Its production received comparisons to Timberlake's songs "Cry Me a River" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around". Lewis has performed the song at Rock in Rio and it was included on her debut concert tour, The Labyrinth, and later on the accompanying DVD release, ''The Labyrinth Tour: Live from the O2''.
==Background and development==
Prior to creating "Don't Let Me Down" for Lewis' second studio album ''Echo'', Justin Timberlake had asked the singer to perform at a charity concert that he was hosting in Las Vegas in October 2008. The singers got to know each other and became friends, resulting in Timberlake asking Lewis to join him in the recording studio to work on some material, which she accepted.〔 In January 2009, it was reported that the pair were planning to cover Dolly Parton's song "I Will Always Love You" as a duet, and were going to record it sometime within the next couple of months when they both had some spare time in their busy schedules. In June 2009, Lewis confirmed that she was over halfway through the recording process for ''Echo'' in an interview with Digital Spy, and that she and Timberlake had collaborated on several tracks together. She said that Timberlake was "awesomely talented", and that he had contributed vocals on a couple of the songs.〔
In a November 2009 interview, Lewis said that she had always wanted to work with Timberlake. In February 2010, she said that a few weeks after the two of them had met in Las Vegas, they went into a recording studio, where Lewis played him her cover of "Run". She revealed that Timberlake was "really inspired" after hearing "Run", and they created "Don't Let Me Down" shortly afterward.〔 She characterised her time in the studio with him as "amazing" and Timberlake as "really hardworking and focused".〔 Lewis said that her favourite song by him is "Cry Me a River", which critics later compared to "Don't Let Me Down" upon the release of ''Echo''.〔
