Don't Say You Love Me (M2M song) pop". Marius Lillelien, the director of the Norwegian radio station "NRK P3", said "It's a very well-written, well-produced pop song, they're young and potentially the largest Norwegian pop success ever. The song is best suited to an audience aged 10–16, but in my opinion it won't scare away older listeners". "Don't Say You Love Me" was nominated for the year's best song at the 2000 Spellemannprisen awards, though it lost to "Propaganda" by Briskeby. In the US, "Don't Say You Love Me" entered the "Billboard" Hot 100 at number 72, later peaking at number 21. It also reached number 40
