In "Love Me Not," Ravyn Lenae examines a complex relationship. Against a backdrop of groovy, syncopated drums and her dreamy vocals, she sings of that relatable predicament: Lenae feels she doesn't need her lover, but when he's not there, she misses him. Released as a double single alongside "Love Is Blind," "Love Me Not" is part of Lenae's sophomore album, Bird's Eye. The project explores themes of personal growth, introspection, and the general chaos of dating in your 20s. Lenae collaborated with songwriter Sarah Aarons (Zedd's "Stay," Maren Morris' "Girl") throughout the album - a notable shift, as Lenae had never co-written on a project before. It turned out to be an enjoyable experience. "Having someone through the entire thing who understands my perspective and the way I want my stories to be told and written was so beautiful," she told Women In Pop. Dahi, known for his work with artists like Kelela, SZA, and Kendrick Lamar, served as the album's main producer. The production duo Best Kept Secret and singer/rapper Anderson .Paak also contributed to this song.
