Don’t Let GoTerrace Martin
This commercial highlights that even the smallest-capacity model in the iPhone 15 series comes with 128GB of storage.
When a man tries to delete a photo of an older woman, the woman’s mouth in the photo moves and says, “Don’t Let Me Go.” In Japanese, that would mean something like “Don’t throw me away,” emphasizing that there’s plenty of storage so you don’t need to delete photos.
The song used as the commercial’s BGM is “Don’t Let Go” by American artist Terrace Martin.
The distinctive, heavily processed vocals leave a strong impression—you hear it once and it’s unforgettable.
The version used in the commercial has slightly different lyrics from the original, so try listening and see if you can spot what’s changed.
