"Don't Say You Love Me" (1999) "Mirror Mirror" (2000)

"Don't Say You Love Me" is a song recorded by pop band M2M in 1999. It was originally featured on the soundtrack to the movie Pokémon: The First Movie. The single had success in the United States, reaching No. 2 on US Billboard singles sales chart and reaching No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified Gold, with shipments of over 700,000 copies. The song was also played on the television series Felicity and Beverly Hills, 90210

Radio Disney US began playing the song in November 1999, however it was not released until January 2000 as a physical single. It was also released in Norway early in January, but was released slightly earlier elsewhere. There is a slight difference in lyrics between the Pokémon: The First Movie version and the single version, as the lyrics "You start kissing me" made implications not appropriate for a children's film, so the line was changed to "You said you love me".

Music video

The video was shot over three days in Los Angeles, California. It was directed by Nigel Dick, and shows M2M in a drive-in theater, with Marion singing in a purple car with a boy and Marit singing with a red guitar. Two versions of the video were released. In one both girls are watching Pokémon: The First Movie on the theater screen; the second version does not contain the Pokémon movie images, and instead shows Marion and Marit in the theater screen.
