This Ain't a Love Song


"This Ain’t a Love Song" is the lead single from Bon Jovi’s 1995 album These Days. The song is an example of the strong rhythm and blues influence that Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wanted the These Days album to have. It reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart, number six on the UK Singles Chart, and number one on the Finnish Singles Chart. The music video was shot at Wat Ratchaburana in Ayuthaya, Thailand; and directed by Andy Morahan.
Although a successful single, Bon Jovi has performed "This Ain’t a Love Song" live only six times since the conclusion of the These Days Tour, with the song not performed even once between July 13, 1996 and June 19, 2008. A Spanish version, "Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado", was also recorded. However, the Spanish version is different from the original because the lyrics are different; it instead talks about how nobody will never someone love like the narrator.
