"Not Over You Yet" is a song by American singer Diana Ross from her 20th studio album, Every Day Is a New Day (1999). It was written by 'Zavy Kid' Malik Pendleton and Kenneth Kelly and produced by the former, Brian Rawling, and Mark Taylor. EMI International released the song as the second single from the album on October 25, 1999. It was her final hit single of the 1990s in the United Kingdom, which was remixed and became a top-10 hit, peaking at number nine. The single also reached number six in Hungary, and number 67 in Germany, and number 74 in the Netherlands. A music video was produced for promotional purposes. Ross performed the song on the ITV special An Audience with Diana Ross, recreating elements of the music video with choreography.

Critical reception[]

The Daily Vaults Mark Millan wrote that it is "definitely the album's strongest and most focused track". He added that Ross "once again delivers a heartfelt reading of the personalized lyric, 'You were the first who ever brought me out / Showed me what life and love was all about / Gave me things that I never need / You're in my thoughts, my every dream'."[2] Paul Willistein from The Morning Call stated that the singer "gets jiggy wit' the loopy "Not Over You Yet"".[3] Kitty Empire from NME called it "some grown-up housey garagey disco-y nonsense that's really of no great consequence."[4] Chuck Campbell from Scripps Howard News Service described it as a "moderately hypnotic" song, "prodded by a politely percolating mechanical loop."[5]
