"Never Never Love" is a song by British soul and pop band Simply Red. Written by frontman Mick Hucknall, it was featured on their fifth album, Life (1996), and reached number 18 on the UK chart when released in February 1996 by EastWest. The song additionally peaked at number seven in Hungary and number 26 in Iceland. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 93 in March 1996.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Simply Red continues to be one of the more reliable sources for old-school soul that is more than a retread of familiar ideas." He explained that "as evident on this breezy number" Hucknall "aims to deconstruct the ideas triggered by his favorite old records with fresh new ones. Topped by winding organ lines and fuzzy funk guitar licks, the song mines a groove that snugly fits between jeep youth and classic disco—with just a touch of jazz to keep you alert."[3] Kevin Courtney from Irish Times complimented it as a "sweet soul ballad".[4] A reviewer from Music & Media declared it as a "mid-tempo soulful tune",[5] while Newcastle Journal described it as a "beautiful slow ballad".[6] In a retrospective review, Pop Rescue remarked, "This is a nice warm, chilled out track, complete with 'la la la-la la' vocal intro. Mick's vocals suit the bass and beats on this track."[7] David Gaskey from The Rice Thresher called it "reggae", which "poses the powerful question, So now we've got our independence, what are we gonna do with it?".[8]
