I will survive without you Don't tell me that you wanna leave If you wanna leave I won't beg you to stay And if you gotta go, darling Maybe it's better that way I'm gonna be strong I'm gonna do fine Don't worry about this heart of mine (Walk out that door) (See if I care) (Go on and go) But don't turn around Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking Don't turn around I don't want you seeing me cry Just walk away It's tearing me apart that you're leaving I'm letting you go But I won't let you know I won't let you know I won't miss your arms around me Holding me tight (holding me tight) And if you ever think about me Just know that I'll be alright (I'll be alright) I'm gonna be strong I'm gonna do fine Don't worry about this heart of mine I will survive I'll make it through I'll even learn to live without you Don't turn around Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking Don't turn around I don't want you seeing me cry Just walk away It's tearing me apart that you're leaving I'm letting you go But I won't let you know I wish I could scream out loud That I love you I wish I could say to you "don't go" As he walks away he feels the pain getting strong People in your life they don't know what's going on Too proud to turn around, he's gone Don't turn around Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking Don't turn around I don't want you seeing me cry Just walk away It's tearing me apart that you're leaving I'm letting you go Baby, don't turn around Don't turn around Just walk away (just walk away) It's tearing me apart that you're leaving I'm letting you go Don't turn around Don't turn around Just walk away

A faixa é na verdade uma releitura da canção original de 1986 gravada por Tina Turner, com letras escritas por Albert Hammond e Diane Warren, embora o selo Arista Records tenha sugerido que o grupo se baseasse na versão de 1988 da banda britânica Aswad.
Os membros de Ace of Base transformaram a chave da música de maior para menor durante a gravação, uma decisão tomada porque achavam que a versão original estava "demasiado em maior", o que resultou no som característico da faixa.
A gravação inclui um trecho de rap escrito e interpretado pelo membro da banda Ulf Ekberg, adicionando uma camada diferente à estrutura da canção original.
O single alcançou a 4ª posição na parada Billboard Hot 100 nos Estados Unidos, permanecendo no topo das cinco primeiras posições durante quatro semanas consecutivas entre junho e julho de 1994.
A música subiu de 12 para a sétima posição nas paradas enquanto seu antecessor, "The Sign", ainda ocupava a terceira posição, formando um período em que a banda tinha múltiplas faixas simultaneamente no topo do gráfico.
Críticos musicais, incluindo Lindsey Fortier da Billboard, apontaram semelhanças notáveis entre "Don't Turn Around" e o hit "Alejandro", de 2010, de Lady Gaga, sugerindo que a faixa de 1994 pode ter servido como inspiração para a artista.
