"Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)" is a song by Sub Sub, released as a single in March 1993. It features Temper Temper's Melanie Williams on vocals. In the music video, Jimi Goodwin plays bass, Jez Williams plays keyboards and percussion, and Andy Williams plays keytar.

This song was the act's biggest single, reaching number 3 in the UK Singles Chart and becoming one of many dance singles in 1993 to cross over into mainstream popularity in the UK.[1] After struggling to repeat the success of the single, and after a fire destroyed the band's Ancoats studio in 1996, the group eventually reformed with a radically different sound as Doves in 1998.[1]
