"'I'm Not Over You'" is a 1994 song by American musician and former beauty queen CeCe Peniston, originally recorded for her second album, 'Thought 'Ya Knew' (1994), which was released on A&M Records. The single (in the UK available only as B-side of the "Hit by Love" release) achieved number two in the US Dance chart, and number ten on the R&B field. In the 'Billboard' Hot 100 the song charted at number forty-one. The B-side of the single included "Searchin'", which was previously released only for promotional purposes.
Critical reception
Jose F. Promis from AllMusic described "I'm Not Over You" as "fun, jazzy, finger-snapping R&B". Larry Flick from 'Billboard' noted that it "hangs on a similar [to "I'm in the Mood"] funk/hip-hop tip." He added, "She flexes her nicely matured voice to good effect, gingerly weaving in and around the rugged beat and pulsating synth melody." Troy J. Augusto from 'Cash Box' wrote, "Nice follow-up here to Penistons last, semi-successful In The Mood release will more than likely top that tune chart-wise. Ceces powerful, accomplished vocal style and the songs undeniable groove should go a long way in further establishing Ms. Penistons urban/R&B credentials." He concluded, "A star in the making, for sure." Dave Sholin from the 'Gavin Report' commented, "Some artists have a way with setting just the right mood. That seems to be a gift that CeCe's been blessed with, and she has no problem putting this song through its proper paces." Another reviewer, Annette M. Lai declared it as "hip-hop and jazz-flavored", picking it as one of the "outstanding tracks" of the 'Thought 'Ya Knew' album. And Ralph Tee from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update concluded that "with all its infectious hooks", this track "is the stand-out cut" of the album.
