"No More 'I Love You's" is a song written by David Freeman and Joseph Hughes and originally recorded by them as The Lover Speaks. It was released in 1986 as the lead single from their self-titled debut album.[3] The song was covered by the Scottish singer Annie Lennox and became a commercial success for her in 1995, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart.
"No More 'I Love You's" was the first single released by Annie Lennox from her second studio album, Medusa. The song features slightly altered lyrics from the original version and added background vocals that can be heard around the 2:50 mark of the song. Her version was also featured in the very first episode of The Sopranos.[citation needed]
Lennox's version was a commercial success, topping the singles charts of Canada, Italy and Spain, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart, and becoming a top-twenty hit in at least 10 other countries. In the United States, the song reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked atop the Dance Club Songs chart. In 1996, the song won Lennox the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 38th Annual Grammy Awards,[19] the first to be awarded to a British artist.
Lennox's version of "No More 'I Love You's" has been sampled multiple times. It was first sampled for the Nicki Minaj song "Your Love" on her 2010 single. The song was originally recorded two years before but never intended to be put out for release until it was leaked in January 2010. After becoming a hit, it was slightly rewritten and re-recorded and this revised version was released in June 2010. Prior to the official release of Minaj's song, the cover was sampled in 2009 by Jason Derulo and Auburn in their song "How Did We". It was then sampled by J.R. Rotem for singer Razah's 2010 single called "I Remember", using the same instrumental beat used for "How Did We".[citation needed] Singer Hailee Steinfeld included the sample as well in her 2020 single "I Love You's".
David Freeman would record his own solo version of the song after the breakup of The Lover Speaks. It was released on his fifth studio album Apart & Together (1996).
Maria Pia De Vito covered the song for her 2009 album, Mind the Gap.
Mexican experimental rock musician Juan Son covered the song in 2009 for the mariachi-covers compilation Mariachi Rock-O.
The song was covered by Welsh singer Rhydian for the album Waves (2011).
A substantially rewritten version titled "I Love You's" was released by singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld on 26 March 2020. Except for the "doo bee doo bee" background vocals and the "no more I love yous" refrain, the lyrics and melody are completely different. This version lists Sarah Griffiths, Jessica Agombar and David Stewart as co-writers along with Hughes and Freeman. Steinfeld said her version is intended to be a homage to Lennox.
