Ne Crois Pas (English translation: "Don't Believe") was the first Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1956 (the rules of this Contest and no other allowing two entries per country), performed in French by Michèle Arnaud.

In contrast to most of the other entries of this Contest, the song is an up-tempo number, with Arnaud telling a friend or lover that the fact that he looks good at the moment is largely meaningless. She tells him that his looks are due to his youth and that, as for the rest of humanity, he will lose his hair, gain weight and possibly lose his teeth as well. Thus, she tells him that he should "take advantage of it", rather than simply enjoying his looks at the time.

The song was performed sixth on the night (following France's Mathé Altéry with Le Temps Perdu and preceding Italy's Franca Raimondi with Aprite le finestre). As the scoreboard of this Contest has never been released, definitive statements about scores and positions are impossible to make, however the song did not win.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative by the country's second entry at that Contest, Arnaud performing Les Amants De Minuit.
