"Don't Stop" is a song by the rock group Fleetwood Mac, written by vocalist and keyboard player Christine McVie. Sung by McVie and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, it was the third single from the band's 1977 hit album Rumours, and is one of the band's most enduring hits. It was famously used by US presidential candidate Bill Clinton for his first campaign. Upon winning the election, President Clinton persuaded the then-disbanded group to reform to perform it for his inaugural ball in 1993.
"Don't Stop" reflects Christine's feelings after her separation from John McVie. "Don't Stop was just a feeling. It just seemed to be a pleasant revelation to have that 'yesterday's gone,'" Christine remembers in The Fleetwood Mac Story: Rumours and Lies, "It might have, I guess, been directed more toward John, but I'm just definitely not a pessimist."

Sufjan Stevens song "Carlyle Lake" off The Avalanche features the lyric "Oh, stop thinking of tomorrow/Don't stop thinking of today." A nod to "Don't Stop."
In the early 1990s, family restaurant/arcade Chuck E. Cheese had a show featuring anamatronic characters that "danced" and "played" "Don't Stop."
