Don't wanna know! Feel the urgency of Night Ranger's explosive 1982 debut single, "Don't Tell Me You Love Me." Kicking off their career from the Dawn Patrol album, this hard rock anthem hits hard with powerful dual guitars and Jack Blades' insistent vocals.

  • TITLE: Don't Tell Me You Love Me
  • BAND: Night Ranger
  • GENRE: Hard Rock
  • RELEASEDAY: October 01
  • YEAR: 1982

Released as the lead single from their 1982 debut album Dawn Patrol, "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" introduced Night Ranger's signature hard rock sound to the world. Its driving beat, memorable guitar riffs from Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson, and catchy chorus quickly made it a rock radio staple.

This classic 1982 hard rock track established Night Ranger as formidable players in the arena rock scene. Fueled by raw energy and lyrics rejecting potentially empty words, "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" remains one of their most powerful and recognizable early hits.

SONG MEANING: The song expresses frustration and cynicism towards declarations of love perceived as insincere or meaningless by the singer ("Don't tell me you love me / Don't tell me... I don't wanna know"). It reflects weariness with potentially empty words in a relationship, demanding something more genuine or perhaps wanting distance altogether.
