Don't Say You Love Me (M2M song)
"Don't Say You Love Me" is the debut single by M2M, a Norwegian pop duo composed of singers Marion Raven and Marit Larsen. The song first appeared on Radio Disney before its official US radio and single release in October 1999. It was released on the soundtrack to the film ''Pokémon: The First Movie'' in November 1999 and appears in the film's closing credits. The song was featured on M2M's debut album, ''Shades of Purple'' (2000), and also appeared on their compilation album ''The Day You Went Away: The Best of M2M'' (2003).
The song received positive reviews: Robert Christgau said it was one of the "impossibly touching" songs on ''Shades of Purple''; Chuck Taylor said it was "absolutely enchanting" and would appeal to both young and mature listeners. It reached number 2 in Norway, number 4 in both Australia and New Zealand, number 16 in the UK and number 21 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It was certified gold in the US and Australia and remained M2M's biggest hit. M2M performed the song on episodes of the TV series ''One World'', ''Top of the Pops'' and ''Disney Channel in Concert''. Two similar music videos were released for the song, with one showing clips from '' Pokémon: The First Movie''.
==Background and composition==
Marion Raven and Marit Larsen were 14 and 15-years-old respectively when the tracks from their debut album ''Shades of Purple'', including "Don't Say You Love Me", were recorded. They had previously released a children's album, ''Synger Kjente Barnesauger'', under the band name ''Marit & Marion''.〔 That album was nominated for a Spellemannprisen award when they were both 12 years old. After taking some time off from recording music, the two began recording under the name M2M, which reflected the initials of both their first names. Atlantic Records received one of their demo recordings and signed them to a worldwide contract in 1998. "Don't Say You Love Me" was M2M's debut single.〔
The song was written by Raven, Larsen, Peter Zizzo and Jimmy Bralower.〔〔 It was produced by Zizzo and Bralower and was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge.〔 Lyrically, the song is about getting "the rules straight on a budding relationship. Slow down and don't say you love me until you give me some time and get to know me."〔 There is a slight difference in lyrics between the version used in ''Pokémon: The First Movie'' version and the version released on ''Shades of Purple''. The ''Shades of Purple'' version includes the line "then you start kissing me, what's that about?" In the ''Pokémon'' version, the lyric is "then you say you love me, what's that about?" When asked about the lyric change in an interview, M2M replied "the ''Pokémon'' people didn't find it appropriate to have kissing in the lyrics, because it was for younger kids. We think (lyric change ) was stupid. The original version is on (of Purple ), and that's the one we wanted to go with." M2M had not heard of ''Pokémon'' until the song was chosen for the soundtrack, as the franchise was not yet popular in Norway.〔
