"Lucy Doesn't Love You" is a song by American band Ivy for their third studio album, Long Distance (2000). Lead singer Dominique Durand wrote the song with band members Adam Schlesinger and Andy Chase, who both produced it. In 2000, it was chosen as the album's lead single in Japan and distributed via Chase's Unfiltered Records label. Musically, the song was described as a melodic, horn-led trip hop and synth-pop track. Its lyrics find a woman confronting a lovestruck man who desires a different woman, named Lucy, who is not in love with him. American musician Eric Matthews performs trumpet on "Lucy Doesn't Love You", alongside Paco member Michael Hampton, who contributes to the song's instrumentation.

"Lucy Doesn't Love You" has received mostly favorable reviews from music critics, who commonly discussed the song's production. An accompanying music video for the song was released in 2000 and features side-by-side split screen graphics of Durand singing alongside Schlesinger, Chase, and other background dancers and singers. The song also appeared in the 2002 American film I'm with Lucy, alongside Long Distance track "One More Last Kiss".
