"Go Away" is a single by American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan. It was released in April 1993 as the fourth and last single worldwide and third to the United States from her fourth solo album and second compilation, Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits. The song is much in the style of Estefan's earlier songs with the Miami Sound Machine. It was a club hit throughout Europe and America and was featured in the film Made in America and its soundtrack. It reached the UK Top 20 and US Dance Chart Top 5.

Critical reception

AllMusic editor Jose F. Promis described the song as a "irresistible Latin-flavored dance track".[1] Larry Flick from Billboard stated that "the traditional salsa flavor that has dominated her previous uptempo tunes is evident, but it is tempered with savvy house elements. Also, Estefan's vocal is easily her most relaxed and playful to date."[2] He also added, "Tropical spice and a hi-NRG tempo are a happy marriage here, while cute vocals and sound effects are icing on the cake."[3] Dave Sholin from Gavin Report said the song is a "fun, upbeat production."[4] Music & Media commented that "the Cuban exile Estefan addresses her anger against dictator Fidel Castro. "People have a right to party," our little rebel sings, musically going back to her Latin roots."[5] The Network Forty noted that "it's been too long since Gloria Estefan has given us an uptempo hit record. "Go Away" is reminiscent of the early Miami Sound Machine hits; it has the energy of "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and "1-2-3"."[6]

On a November, 2020 episode of the TV show "The View" Gloria Estefan indicated that the song "Go Away" would be the perfect song for Donald Trump to dance to in a conga line leaving the White House.
