We Only Make Believe is the first studio album by American country music duo Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn. It was released on February 22, 1971, by Decca Records.
This was the first of ten albums Twitty and Lynn would release annually until 1981. The album's first track is a cover of Twitty's solo hit "It's Only Make Believe", which Twitty co-wrote with Jack Nance. Lynn wrote two tracks for the album, "Don't Tell Me You're Sorry" and "We Closed Our Eyes to Shame". "I'm So Used to Loving You", another of Twitty's compositions, also appears on the album.
The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 78 on the Billboard 200, the duo's highest-charting album on that chart. The album was also certified Gold by the RIAA. The first and only single from the album, "After the Fire Is Gone" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and also charted at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100.
