"Not Over You Yet" is a song by Diana Ross from the twentieth 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. The song was released as the second single from the album in 1999 by EMI International. 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 in his review of Every Day Is a New Day, that "Not Over You Yet" 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'."[1] Kitty Empire from NME noted the song as "some grown-up housey garagey disco-y nonsense that's really of no great consequence."[2]
