"Love of a Lifetime" is a song by English girl group Honeyz, released as the group's third single from their debut studio album, Wonder No. 8 (1998), on 12 April 1999. It was their last single at the time with co-founding member Heavenli Abdi, following her departure months later. The song reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart, number 26 in Ireland and number 64 in Australia. The Rude Boy Remix was released as a single and included on both the original 1998 album and 1999 reissue, however the original version was released for the first time on the group's 2006 The Collection album.

Music video[]

The official music video was directed by Bille Woodruff. It features a large group of young people dancing in a room, whilst the Honeyz perform in the foreground. There are also scenes featuring the group singing against a red backdrop and on a stage in front of a gold wall, as well as Naima Belkhiati and Célena Cherry in black leather catsuits with a man each.

Multiple versions of the video were released. Initially, the video featured founding member Heavenli Abdi. A second cut was released where she was heavily edited out of the video, due to her abrupt departure from the group prior to the video's official release. A third version was then released with scenes featuring new member Mariama Goodman, who joined the group following Heavenli Abdi's departure.
