Critical reception


Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The new single is another ballad although rather more understated and reflective than many they have produced in the past."[2]


Music video


The accompanying music video for "This Ain't a Love Song" was shot at Wat Ratchaburana in Ayuthaya, Thailand, and directed by Andy Morahan.[3]


"Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado"


A Spanish version, "Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado" ("Nobody Has Loved You Like I Do"), was also recorded. However, the lyrics in the two versions differ from each other; the original version talks about a lost love, which is never recovered, while the Spanish version is a reflection on love, about how no one will love someone with the same passion than the narrator.

Mexican singer Yuridia covered the Spanish version, "Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado", on her second studio album Habla El Corazón which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.[4] Yuridia's cover received was nominated at the 2008 Latin Billboard Awards for Latin Pop Airplay of the Year by a Female Artist.[5] Her cover also led to Jon Bon Jovi winning an ASCAP Latin Award in the Pop/Ballad field.[6]

[ru] This Ain’t a Love Song

This Ain’t a Love Song — первый сингл группы Bon Jovi из их альбома 1995 года These Days. Песня достигла 14-го места в чарте Billboard Hot 100, 11-го места в The Mainstream Top 40[1] и 6-го места в UK Singles Chart. Она была написана Джоном Бон Джови и Ричи Самборой под влиянием ритм-н-блюза, но тем не менее музыкальные критики из журнала Q причислили песню к альтернативному року. Съемки видеоклипа к синглу проходили в Таиланде. Позднее была записана испаноязычная версия песни, которая была выпущена под названием «Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado».
