"I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" is a popular song that was written by prolific songwriter Diane Warren and recorded by the female pop trio Exposé. It is featured on Exposé's 1992 eponymous album. It was the second single taken from the group's third studio album and was released in early 1993. The lead vocals were provided by Jeanette Jurado. Although Exposé's album refers to the song as "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me," many sources (as well as the cassette and CD singles that were released) cover the last three words of the title within parentheses.

Saxophonist Euge Groove provided the instrumental solo for this song. This marks the second time that he is featured on Exposé's hits, as he also provided a saxophone solo for their #1 pop hit, "Seasons Change".

This song has been covered by American Tejano singer Selena, Irish pop group Bellefire as well as Filipino band MYMP.

Music video

In the song's music video, Jurado walks pensively along the beach and thinks of her ex-boyfriend, while Ann Curless and Kelly Moneymaker stand under a section of the boardwalk a few yards away from her. In other scenes, the three ladies sit in front of a fire or they walk around the boardwalk. There are also flashback scenes with Jurado and boyfriend having fun together. The video appears to have been shot on, around and under the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California.
