The Roads Don't Love You is the second album by Irish singer-songwriter Gemma Hayes, released in the Republic of Ireland on 28 October 2005, 31 October 2005 in the United Kingdom, and 15 November 2005 in North America.

The title is taken from a line in the Magnetic Fields song "Long Vermont Roads".

[1] The recording of this album was heavily influenced by Hayes' move to Los Angeles.

Heading stateside with some demos, Hayes called upon assistance from Joey Waronker (producer) and Nigel Godrich (mixer)[2] to help with the recording of the album.

The recording of The Roads Don't Love You came after a longer period of self-doubt by Hayes following the critical acclaim of her debut album.
