"Loves Me Not" was a planned fourth single for the album Dangerous and Moving by t.A.T.u. However, due to the group leaving Universal Records, the song's release was postponed, then later cancelled in all countries, except for a limited release in France. Even though it was cancelled, it is available on some countries' iTunes Music Store with only the original song. Unlike most of the duo's songs, "Loves me Not" and "All About Us" exist exclusively in English; there is no Russian-language version of either song, and English versions were included on the Russian version of the album. A video of the group performing the song at "Glam As You" in Paris was aired on a few television stations worldwide. Music and lyrics by Andy Kubiszewski and Ed Buller. Cover photo taken by Bryan Adams.

Although the song was first seen on Dangerous and Moving, it is considered the only single from The Best. A very small number of singles were printed and sold in France, using the same photo from the "Gomenasai" single. An alternate version of the song can be found on Люди Инвалиды (Lyudi invalidy).Sheila Whiteley, Jennifer Rycenga Queering the Popular Pitch 2006 - Page 166 "While this paper focuses on their first album, their second release, Dangerous and Moving (2005) continues with the themes discussed here, including the song "Loves Me Not," which explores the protagonist's bisexuality."
