"No Me Ames" (English: "Don't Love Me") is a song by Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. It is a Spanish cover version of an Italian song called "Non amarmi", written by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Marco Falagiani and Aleandro Baldi and recorded by Baldi and Francesca Alotta.

While Lopez and Anthony were recording the song, Lopez came up with the idea for the music video. Lopez recalled the events, stating, "And I asked him [Anthony] if he liked it. And I actually explained it to Tommy and him at the same time the other day in the studio after we recorded the song and they both loved it."[12] The music video for "No Me Ames" was directed by Kevin Bray in May 1999 in Los Angeles, California, the day after she shot the music video for "If You Had My Love".[12][41] The music video features Lopez and Anthony as two lovers. Anthony is dying from an unnamed illness. His spirit watches over the grieving Lopez. Of the music video, Lopez stated that it is "like a foreign film, like 'Life Is Beautiful'". [ 42 ] The music video received a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Short Form Music Video. [ 38 ] The music video was included on the DVD set of Lopez's compilation album The Reel Me (2003). [ 43 ] The song was scheduled to be performed at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards, but Anthony was unable to attend due to complications with his wife's pregnancy. [ 44 ] On their 2007 tour, in which they performed the song together, it was performed as an encore along with "Por Arriesgarnos" after each show. [ 45 ] Lopez and Anthony performed the song at the final show of Lopez's Dance Again World Tour. [ citation needed]
