"Save Room" is a song by American recording artist John Legend, taken from his second album, Once Again (2006). A joyful love song, it was written by Legend along with will.i.am and Jessyca Wilson, and built along a sample of Gábor Szabó's version of the Classics IV hit " Stormy”, written by Buddy Buie and James B. Cobb, Jr. Legend used the sample at the suggestion of frequent collaborator Kanye West. Production was helmed by Legend, will.i.am, and West. A music video was made for the song, directed by Bryan Barber.
Released as the album's first single, "Save Room" became a top 10 hit in Italy and the Netherlands while reaching the top 20 in the Flemish region of Belgium and on Billboard's US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In the United Kingdom, the single received a digital only release and chart rules at that time prevented it from charting. A critical success, the song was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
