"Love Don't Live Here" is a song recorded by American country music trio Lady Antebellum. It was released in October 2007 as the first single from their self titled debut album. Although the group had charted along with pop artist Jim Brickman on his 2007 single "Never Alone", this song serves as Lady Antebellum's first release to country radio. It was written by the group's three members (Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood), and features Kelley on lead vocals. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts dated for the week of June 14, 2008.

The song is part of the tracklist for Now That's What I Call Country.

Background

Kelley describes the song as follows: "I really felt like we found our sound on this song, and I was really proud that it became our first single since it was one of the first songs that the three of us wrote together."[1] Producer Victoria Shaw had previously worked with the trio as a co-writer of "Never Alone".

Accompanied by electric guitar and mandolin runs, the song finds the narrator addressing a former lover who has showed up at his door. He tells her that, although she is "passing through to claim [her] lost-and-found", he has forgotten about her, and is not open to her forgiveness.

The song's music video was filmed and released in December 2007.[2] Chris Hicky directed the video.
