"Don't Wanna Fall in Love" wa a 1989 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. When released around Europe it also became successful. In the UK, the single peaked at a low #22, because Child refused to appear on the popular British TV program Top of the Pops. She considered appearing on that program 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.
