Critical reception

Jessica Mule of Renowned for Sound gave a mixed to positive response in her 3/5 review writing "You Don’t Know Love is a pop synth breakup anthem. The main query I hold with You Don’t Know Love is the pace of the song. It takes 1 minute and 4 seconds for the first chorus to come in, not unheard of, but generally you will find with pop songs, especially radio hits, that the chorus will usually come in around the 40-second mark. This extra 24 seconds really lingers. The chorus is definitely climatic and punchy enough, and it has what a radio played single needs. It just takes a while to get there. I can just imagine certain first-time listeners becoming impatient and changing the station before it even hits the right hook of a chorus. The chorus is well worth the wait though. With its jaded lyric, buzzing synths and layered harmonised vocals it delivers its statement with enough certainty to have you humming, “You don’t know love, you don’t know love!”. While this one phrase is lyrically placed in the context of not knowing love till it hurts you, it is delivered in a way that also makes it a direct message to the person who inflicted that pain. And who hasn’t wanted to inform an ex of their lack of understanding of love, with the stinging line, "You Don’t Know Love"?" [1]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "You Don't Know Love" was first released onto YouTube on 14 July 2016 at a total length of three minutes and forty-eight seconds. [2]

Filmed in Las Vegas, the video portrays a woman in the sea before it shows Murs in a hotel room putting on a shirt and suit jacket. He then goes outside to his car where he finds a parking ticket. Seeing that he hasn't enough money to pay for the ticket, Murs goes to a pawnshop and trades in his watch for extra money.

After paying for the ticket, Murs drives through Las Vegas before stopping near the sea and dives into it backwards. Murs then swims over to the woman from the start of the video and they embrace.

The video's water scenes were filmed at Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas.

Live performances

Murs performed "You Don't Know Love"'s first television performance on the launch show of Strictly Come Dancing on 3 September 2016. [3]
