According to Dido, "Don't Believe in Love" is not about a
one-night stand situation as the lyrics might suggest. She explained, "I guess the basic concept is the world's a better place with love than it is without, but there's a whole lot of stuff to get to that point [...] The fact that I never truly explain what a song is about means that I feel very unlimited in what I put in. I think it is mainly journalists who want to work your life out from your songs". The song was premiered on
radio stations on 1 September 2008, and was released for download in many European countries from 29 September 2008. It was also released in Australia on this date. The physical single was released in United Kingdom on 27 October 2008, and in Germany on 31 October 2008. ==Music video==
