"Don't You Love Me" is a 1990 song by Italian house and Eurodance act 49ers. Produced by Gianfranco Bortolotti, it was released as the fourth single from their debut album, 49ers (1990). It features a vocal sample from Jody Watley's 1987 hit "Don't You Want Me". On the European charts, it reached number 12 in the UK, number ten in Switzerland, number eight in Finland and number six in Ireland. On the US charts, it was the group's second and last number-one single on the Billboard dance chart, where it spent two weeks.[1] "Don't You Love Me" was also the group's only entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 78.
Critical reception
Bill Coleman from Billboard wrote, "Sample-happy Italian outfit follows No. 1, "Touch Me", with an engaging, though less-inspired house jam, coated with disco coloring."[2] Music writer James Masterton viewed it as "lyrically unique" in his weekly UK chart commentary.[3] David Giles from Music Week stated that the song "should do equally well both on the dancefloor and in the shops. It uses all the tricks of the Italian house formula in order to produce an urgent good-time track."[4]
