Don't Wanna Fall in Love

About Don't Wanna Fall in Love

"Don't Wanna Fall in Love" is a 1990 hit song for Toronto-born singer Jane Child. Released as the second single from her self-titled debut album, the single went to number two for three consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 from April 14 to April 28, 1990. It was kept out of the top spot by "I'll Be Your Everything" by Tommy Page and Sinéad O'Connor's recording of "'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 number 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". In April 1990, the single was certified gold by the RIAA. It is Child's best known song and only top 40 hit, making her a one-hit wonder in the public eye. more »
