"'Going Nowhere'" is a song by English singer-songwriter Gabrielle. It was written by Gabrielle and George McFarlane and produced by Pete Cragie for Gabrielle's debut studio album, 'Find Your Way' (1993). Released as the album's second single on 20 September 1993, "Going Nowhere" reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart and number 18 in Ireland. It also peaked at number three on the Canadian 'RPM' Dance chart and number 14 on the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Critical reception



Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The girl and her eyepatch followup the summer's big No.1 Dreams with a track slightly more representative of her usual output and without the novelty value maybe not quite as big a hit." Andy Beevers from 'Music Week' rated the song four out of five, adding, "How do you follow up a debut hit as massive as Dreams? Gabrielle wisely decides to stick to pretty much the same formula, delivering a distinctively sung, dead catchy song". He also noted, "However, this is no note-for-note rerun the song is less overtly poppy than Dreams and Steve Jervier's production gives it a street soul edge." Tim Jeffery from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update described it as "a slow, soulful song aimed at the radio", and "not as innovative as 'Dreams' but sure to be another hit."
