"Love You All My Lifetime" is a 1992 song performed by American singer-songwriter Chaka Khan. Written by the songwriting duo of Klarmann/Weber, it was the first track released off of Chaka Khan's The Woman I Am album. "Love You All My Lifetime" was produced by David Gamson and was Chaka Khan's fifth number-one on the US dance chart.[1] On other US charts, the single went to #2 on the soul singles chart and #68 on the Hot 100.[2] Overseas, "Love You All My Lifetime", went to #49 in the UK.

Critical reception

Alex Henderson from AllMusic described the song as "appealing".[3] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "After numerous disappointments, Khan re-emerges with her most satisfying recording in years. She wraps that one-of-a-kind voice around a slinky and subtle R&B/funk jam that will inject a much-needed breath of fresh air into blah top 40 and urban formats. Fierce remixes by Dave Shaw and Boilerhouse are already kicking up a storm at club level."[4] David Browne from Entertainment Weekly stated that the singer "gives it her all", wrapping her voice around "the delicious hook" of "Love You All My Lifetime".[5]
