This Ain't Love

"This Ain't Love" is a song recorded by Australian singer and songwriter Jessica Mauboy, originally for her fourth studio album, but was left off the track listing of Hilda (2019). It was released on 11 September 2015 as the intended first single from the album, however the album never materialised, leaving "This Ain't Love" as a standalone single. "This Ain't Love" was written by Mauboy, David Sneddon and Carl Ryden, who also handled the production. It is a drum and bass song, which contains elements of soul music. The song marked a new musical direction for Mauboy as it was a departure from her usual pop and R&B style. "This Ain't Love" received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Mauboy's vocals and the production, and believed that the song had the potential to do well on international charts. They also noted that it was reminiscent of artists such as Rudimental, Disclosure and Ella Eyre.
