"End of the Line" is a song by British girl group Honeyz. It was released as the group's second single on 7 December 1998 and reached number five on the UK Singles Chart, spending 16 weeks in the top 100 to become Honeyz' longest-charting single. It also reached number one on the UK R&B Chart and became the group's second top-forty hit in Australia, Iceland, Ireland and Sweden. The single has sold 360,000 copies in the UK alone. The song was remixed by Rude Boy, similarly to the album's third single "Love of a Lifetime," and this is the version included on both the single and album. The original mix remained unreleased commercially until 2006's The Collection album. A 4:30 promo edit of the original was later released on 14 May 2021 when all of the Honeyz original single releases were digitized for release on digital music stores and streaming services.[2]

Composed by Australian songwriter Paul Begaud, the song was also recorded a year earlier in 1997, included in the 1997 "Jelita" compilation album by Warner Music Malaysia and was named "Cinta di Akhir Garisan" ("Love at the End of the Line") sung by Malaysians Ziana Zain, Ning Baizura and  [ms]; and Indonesian  [id]. The Malay version was unique with Dessy's whistle note during her part.[citation needed]

On 27 March 2015 OfficialCharts.com inducted "End of the Line" into their Pop Gem Hall Of Fame, which celebrates "overlooked classics and huge hits of yesteryear". The song was chosen as the Ultimate Goodbye Song.[3]
