If You Don't Mean It

"If You Don't Mean It" is a pop song written by Chris Braide, Carl Falk and Didrik Thott, recorded by Dean Geyer for his first album Rush (2007). Geyer states the song is about a girl who "says she loves him but doesn't show it by her actions. He gets desperate wondering if there's someone else."[1] It was released as the album's first single in Australia on 7 May 2007, as a CD single and digital download. The single was released to Australian radio on 4 April 2007 and became the most added song to radio for that week.[2]
