“I Don’t Love You” is the third UK, Philippine and Australian single and sixth track from My Chemical Romance’s third studio album, The Black Parade. It is the eleventh overall single from the band. It was released April 2, 2007, to the United Kingdom, following “Welcome to the Black Parade” and “Famous Last Words”, both of which were successful hits for the band. The band opted to release “Teenagers” as the third single in the U.S. instead of “I Don’t Love You”. The band released the single in Canada, on MuchMusic on March 19. The song nabbed a positive 4/5 star review from music site Pitchfork Media, who claimed: “..it’s the band’s first proper power ballad and, well, they should definitely think about writing dozens more.”

While the band was on their touring bus in 2005, they began to record using the bus’s recording studio. “I Don’t Love You” was one of the only songs to be used on the album from the tour bus recording sessions. The band can be seen playing an early version of the song from the tour bus sessions on the 2006 DVD Life on the Murder Scene at about 1:59:12 on the first DVD.
