"Doesn't Mean Anything" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys. It written and produced by Keys and longtime partner Kerry "Krucial" Brothers for her fourth studio album The Element of Freedom (2009), with its lyrics speaking about the importance of love against materialism and fake needs. The song was released as the lead single from The Element of Freedom on September 15, 2009, by J Records.

"Doesn't Mean Anything" received widespread critical acclaim upon its release. However, it became Keys' least commercially successful lead single at the time as it peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100, thus becoming her first lead single not to peak within the top three. It fared better internationally, reaching the top ten in Germany, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
