"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.
