"I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" is a single by Australian singer Dannii Minogue from her debut album, Love and Kisses (1991). A personal favourite of Minogue's, its original mix was released as the third single in Australia, where it peaked at number 92 on the ARIA Singles CHart December 1990. A re-recorded and remixed version of the song (by L.A. Mix) was released in the United Kingdom as the fifth and final single in December 1991 and received mostly positive reviews from music critics. "I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" reached number 40 in the UK.

Critical reception

In their review of the Love and Kisses album, Billboard wrote that songs like "I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" "surround her chirpy voice with contagious beats and melodies that should sound just dandy on top 40 radio."[1] Rozalla Miller reviewed the song for Smash Hits, adding "...her voice sounds much better on this record than it does on her other ones. It's pretty good, but it's not as catchy as Baby Love."[2]
