"Don't Say You Love Me" is the last single by Fifth Harmony included in their third studio album, Fifth Harmony, which was released on August 25, 2017. The music video was released on May 18, 2018 before their indefinite hiatus.

Background[]

"Don't Say You Love Me" is the the seventh track from the album.

Dinah: Well, I was actually sick that day. Thanks to me being cold because I wouldn’t have done that pre-chorus. I was like, "I sound like a toad right now. Like, I don’t even know how or why you guys want me to sing this part because I feel like I’m dying," and then somehow I was able to come through. But we were sick. A lot of us were coming down with something around that time, too. It kind of gives you Destiny's Child and En Vogue vibes, the little elements in there, so we made sure to deliver some of that.

Ally: With this record, it’s definitely our favorite. We remember talking to our A&R Chris, and we told him, "Oh, my gosh. This is special." … When I got into the booth, I went to a very, very vulnerable place, and you can really hear that in the record. What I really loved, which is a special memory for me, was my dad was able to be in [the studio] to listen as well, be there while I was recording and he was so proud and he was getting chills. He was getting touched. He was like, "This song is so beautiful." You don’t really get to see that side of us often. You really see us going onstage being fierce and confident and dancing upbeat, but this record, you really get a closer look at who we are.[1]

Live Performances[]

The song is part of the setlist for the group's PSA Tour. The group also performed the song on MTV's reboot of Total Request Live alongside He Like That and was also performed in February 2018 on Hollywood Boulevard to a small crowd of fans.

Music Video[]

The music video for Fifth Harmony's promotional single of their eponymous third album, was released on May 18, 2018 on VEVO.

Fifth Harmony - Don't Say You Love Me

Lyrics[]

Lauren:
Don't say you miss me
When you don't call
And don't say you're hurtin'
Without the scars
Don't promise me tonight
Without tomorrow, too
Don't say you love me
Unless you do

We've been close but inconsistent
You hold my heart at a safer distance, yeah
And you think words can ease the tension
But you can't deny that something's missin'

Dinah & Normani:
I need a little bit more
I need a little bit more
You gotta know what it's like
I know you've been here before
I've been waiting
I've been patient
But I need a little bit more

Normani:
So don't say you miss me
When you don't call
And don't say you're hurtin'
Without the scars
Don't promise me tonight
Without tomorrow, too
Don't say you love me
Unless you do, unless you do

Ally:
How am I supposed to take it
When weeks go by and I'm still waitin'
I say I'm okay but I can't fake it, yeah
Even when I try, yeah, something's missing

Dinah & Normani:
I need a little bit more
I need a little bit more (Normani: I need a little bit more)
You gotta know what it's like
I know you've been here before (Ally: What)
I've been waiting
I've been patient
But I need a little bit more

Dinah & Lauren:
So don't say you miss me
When you don't call (Dinah: When you don't call)
Don't say you're hurtin'
Without the scars
Don't promise me tonight
Without tomorrow, too
Don't say you love me
Unless you do

Lauren:
Unless you do

Lauren & Ally (Dinah):
Don't say you love me (Don't say you love me)
Unless you do (Unless you do)
Don't say you love me (Ooh, yeah)
Don't say you love me (Ooh)
Don't promise me tonight
Without tomorrow, too
Don't say you love me (Ally: Ooh, yeah)
Unless you do, unless you do (Ally: Ooh)

Fifth Harmony (Dinah):
I need a little bit more
I need a little bit more
You gotta know what it's like
I know you've been here before (I know you've been here before)
I've been waiting
I've been patient (Yeah)
But I need a little bit more (Yeah)

Ally:
Don't say you miss me
When you don't call (Normani: You don't call)
Don't say you're hurtin'
Without the scars
Don't promise me tonight
Without tomorrow, too
Don't say you love me
Unless you do
