"
Don't Wanna Fall in Love" is a
1990 hit song for
Toronto-born singer/songwriter/musician
Jane Child. Released as the second single from her
self-titled debut album, the single went to number two for three weeks on the
Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in late April and early May 1990, kept out of the top spot by
Sinéad O'Connor's ballad "'
Nothing Compares 2 U". In addition, a "
new jack swing" remix of the song was produced by
Teddy Riley and reached number six on the R&B chart, and number eleven on the dance chart.
Shep Pettibone also remixed the single, but was only released to DJ's. When released around Europe it also became successful albeit more modestly. In the UK, the single stalled at #22 after Child refused to appear on the popular British TV program
Top of the Pops while the single was climbing the charts, considering the program to be a "sellout".
