"4 Seasons of Loneliness" is a song by Philadelphia-based vocal quartet Boyz II Men. Written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the song was issued as the first single from the Evolution album on September 8, 1997.

Already a success on US radio, the release of the single prompted a Billboard Hot 100 debut at number two. The following week the song moved up to number one, becoming Boyz II Men's fourth (and fifth overall) and last chart-topper to date. "4 Seasons of Loneliness" is, to date, the last Hot 100 number-one hit under the Motown Records banner. It was also the group's last top-10 hit in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom, debuting at number two on the New Zealand Singles Chart and number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
