Lyrically, the song is about getting "the rules straight on a budding relationship: Slow down and don't say you love me until you give me some time and get to know me." According to musicologist Jon Mikkel Broch Ålvik, "Don't Say You Love Me" is the "thinking person's teen pop." Ålvik rejects a superficial interpretation that the lyrics are a "moralistic message of abstinence", arguing instead that M2M "signal a stance that sounds considered and assured rather than prudish" and that the song is a statement of "burgeoning agency." The song has been described as bubblegum pop music with similar lyrical qualities to songs by girl groups of the 1960s, while also having more influence from rock and singer-songwriter genres than was typical for other teen pop songs of the late 1990s. The final chorus repeats with ad-libbed background vocals until the song fades out. The song's prominent instruments are electric piano and acoustic guitar, with record scratching sounds layering the production in the chorus in a style akin to Hanson's " MMMBop". The final chorus has a key change to F♯ major. For most of the song, the verses are in the key of C♯ minor and the choruses are in the relative major key of E major. Raven and Larsen alternate singing lead vocals for the first two verses, and then sing harmony together during the choruses. "Don't Say You Love Me" is performed in a 4/4 time signature at a moderately slow tempo of 100 beats per minute. It was produced by Zizzo and Bralower and was mixed by Tom Lord-Alge. The music and lyrics were written by Raven, Larsen, Peter Zizzo and Jimmy Bralower. Problems playing this file? See media help. The lyrics tell a girl's date she's not ready to hear "he loves her – after all, 'It's not like we're gonna get married'." Raven and Larsen were 14 and 15 years old, respectively, when they recorded the tracks from their debut album Shades of Purple, including their debut single, "Don't Say You Love Me". They held a competition for fans to come up with a new name for their duo, and one girl suggested M2M. After the album's release they started writing their own pop songs and sent demo recordings out one of the demos ended up at Atlantic Records and they were signed to a worldwide contract in 1998. The album was nominated for a Spellemannprisen award. The duo released a children's album, Synger Kjente Barnesanger ( Sing Famous Children's Songs), in 1996 under the band name Marit & Marion, when Larsen was 11 and Raven was 12 years old. They began singing together and performing in musical productions. They met when they were five years old and became best friends, discovering they had similar interests in music. Marion Raven and Marit Larsen come from Lørenskog in the district east of Oslo, Norway. Two similar music videos were released for the song, with one showing clips from Pokémon: The First Movie.
