Recording and background [link]
"That was the first time I had been in the studio with a producer like David Foster", Brandy said about recording in a 2005 interview. "My voice wasn't as developed as it is now and the song required what producers call ‘money notes' - the kind that get you a No. 1 on the charts! I was really nervous but it all worked just fine."[3]

The video starts at an empty street before Brandy drives in. She is also seen singing in her bedroom and the pool wearing different clothes.

Have You Ever (S Club 7 song)
"Have You Ever" was a single released by UK pop group S Club 7 on 19 November 2001. Following the success of the 2000 Children in Need track, "Never Had a Dream Come True", the BBC asked S Club 7 to perform the 2001 track for the charity too. "Have You Ever" was co-written by Cathy Dennis, A. Frampton and Chris Braide. The track is the penultimate ballad S Club 7 released as a single with lead vocals coming from singer Jo. "Have You Ever" acted as an introduction to S Club 7's third album Sunshine. The single entered the UK Singles Chart at number one on 1 December 2001, and remained on the chart for 14 weeks (seven of which were in the top 10). The Children in Need version of "Have You Ever" is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the highest number of people's voices recorded in a single song; as recordings from children in schools across the UK were used in the chorus. The song has sold 380,000 copies in the UK according to the Official UK Charts Company. The photo for the cover of the single was shot in another major architectural landmark of the Los Angeles area - the Sheats Goldstein Residence near Beverly Hills.

Have You Ever
by: Michelle Williams(speaking)
I know someone whose love you can totally depend on
Have ever thought you needed anyone this much before?
That€™s right, listen
So you€™re finally tired
of the friends that you admire
Spreading love that leaves you empty
Promises without a guarantee
Tell me what are you gonna do
€˜cause it€™s really all up to you
Make up your mind today
Please share
I know who you can go to
He'll never let you down
And His love you can depend on
forever and ever
Chorus:
Have you ever
Needed anyone this much before?
Did ever
think that it€™d be Jesus?
No never,
never knew His love is what you have been waiting for
So you search for security
love of money and what it brings
thought you'd buy you some happiness
but you found out it didn€™t last
One thing I wanna say
that it€™s all His anyway
between you and me
oh, oh listen
I know who you can go to
He'll never let you down
and His love you can depend on
forever and ever
Chorus (2x)
All of His love is for you
No He won€™t hold back
€˜cause He€™s all of that, it€™s true (yeah, yeah)
All of His love is for you
Chorus (3x)
