The song is an example of the strong rhythm and blues influence that Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wanted the 'These Days' album to have. It reached number 14 on the US 'Billboard' Hot 100, number two on the Canadian 'RPM' Top Singles chart, number six on the UK Singles Chart, and number one on the Finnish Singles Chart. Critical receptionMusic writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The new single is another ballad although rather more understated and reflective than many they have produced in the past." Music videoThe accompanying music video for "This Ain't a Love Song" was shot at Wat Ratchaburana in Ayuthaya, Thailand, and directed by Andy Morahan. "Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado"A Spanish version, "Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado" ("Nobody Has Loved You Like I Do"), was also recorded. However, the lyrics in the two versions differ from each other; the original version talks about a lost love, which is never recovered, while the Spanish version is a reflection on love, about how no one will love someone with the same passion than the narrator. Mexican singer Yuridia covered the Spanish version, "Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado", on her second studio album 'Habla El Corazn' which peaked at number 16 on the 'Billboard' Hot Latin Songs chart. Yuridia's cover received was nominated at the 2008 Latin Billboard Awards for Latin Pop Airplay of the Year by a Female Artist. Her cover also led to Jon Bon Jovi winning an ASCAP Latin Award in the Pop/Ballad field.
