"You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)" is a song by
Penn had originally recorded a version of Cobbs' 1960 song "You Don't Love Me" in 1967, incorporating elements of its music and lyrics. It is claimed that the Cobbs song was, in turn, based on Diddley's 1955 song "She's Fine, She's Mine". Thus, both are credited as songwriters on Penn's recording.[clarification needed] In 1994, after a 17-year break from the music industry, she re-recorded a dancehall version of the song retitled "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)".
Penn's 1994 version of the song became a commercial success worldwide. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number three on the

No no no, you don't love me and I know now (2×)
'Cause you left me baby, and I got no place to go now ...
Dawn Penn's "You Don't Love Me" was a major hit in Jamaica.[5] Based on this success she recorded some other songs, such as "Blue Yes Blue" and a reggae cover version of Scottish singer Lulu's "To Sir with Love".[5] Despite her initial success, Penn decided to take a break from singing, which lasted 17 years.[5] In the late 1980s, after working for banks, accountant agencies, and airlines, she returned to Jamaica in the hopes of reviving her career.[5] In the early 1990s, she re-recorded a version of "You Don't Love Me" with the new title "You Don't Love Me (No, No, No)".[5] The noted Jamaican production team Steely & Clevie produced it[5][9] and it featured an updated dancehall arrangement.[5] Songwriting is credited to Penn, Cobbs, and Diddley.[10]

Impact and legacy
Charles Aaron from Spin ranked "You Don't Love Me" number 11 in his list of the "Top 20 Singles of the Year" in December 1994.[37] NME magazine ranked it at number 24 in their list of the "50 Best Songs of 1994".[38] BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Chris Goldfinger named the song one of his favourites in 1996, adding, "This is the original version — she's been around a long time. I just love her vocals and the lyrics."[39] In 2003, Q Magazine ranked the song number 477 in their list of the "1001 Best Songs Ever"[40] and in 2004, the magazine featured it in their list of "The 1010 Songs You Must Own".[1]
Blender listed it at 186th place on their "500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" in 2005. They wrote: "...dancehall producers Steely & Clevie polished her signature tune into her global comeback hit, wrapping Penn's heartbroken desperation in the sound of a lazy summer's afternoon. Emotional masochism never sounded so sweet."[41] In 2023, Billboard ranked it number 454 in their list of "500 Best Pop Songs of All Time",[2] saying, "The apex of forlorn rocksteady balladry, Dawn Penn’s seminal “You Don’t Love Me” harnessed the ’90s Stateside dancehall boom and turned that energy into a cutting breakup anthem so sharp that even Beyoncé and Rihanna have delivered their own renditions over the years."

Bajan recording artist
English recording artist Lily Allen sampled the song for her "Shame for You", included on her debut studio album, Alright, Still (2006). Lucy Davies for the BBC reviewed the song, writing "Many of her reggae-fused songs stick in your head whilst you desperately suss out why they're familiar, but she rips off her influences with a comic acknowledgement, like 'Shame for You', which blatantly lifts the chorus hook from 'You Don't Love Me (No No No)' by Dawn Penn".[65]
In 2007, American rapper Ghostface Killah covered the song on his compilation album, Hidden Darts: Special Edition, which consists of his rare album B-sides, unreleased songs and mixtape tracks.[66]
