"Stay" is a song from the album Hormonally Yours by British pop duo Shakespear's Sister. An acoustic version can be found on the album Long Live the Queens!.

The single was the only Shakespear's Sister song that featured Marcella Detroit more prominently on vocals than Siobhan Fahey, with Detroit singing the verses and lead chorus and Fahey singing the song's bridge. Reportedly, when the single went on to become the duo's biggest hit internationally, reaching number one on the UK singles chart, as well as number one on Ireland's Single Chart, and number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, this furthered the tension that was mounting between the two musicians. Incidentally, the success of the single and the imagery of its video turned the press focus on Detroit as an "angel with a beautiful voice" and Fahey as a "witch from hell."

Following the success of "Stay" and the Hormonally Yours album Detroit left the band. Neither Fahey nor Detroit have been able to duplicate the success of "Stay".

French and Saunders did a parody of the song and video in their sketch-show in the early nineties.

Cradle of Filth recorded a cover version in 2006.
