Save Room (song)

"Save Room" is a song by American singer John Legend, released in 2006 as the lead single from his second studio album, Once Again. It is a contemporary R&B ballad that samples the instrumental loop from "Shenandoah" by Grover Washington Jr.

The song, co-written by Legend, will.i.am, Jessyca Wilson, and Novel Stevenson, focuses on the singer attempting to persuade his lover to stay with him for the night, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere. The lyrics are suggestive but not overtly explicit, conveying a sense of longing and desire.

The song's popularity was further boosted by its accompanying music video, which features Legend performing the song in a lavish setting. "Save Room" became one of John Legend's signature songs and is frequently performed at his concerts. The song is considered a classic R&B track of the 2000s.
