"'Never Miss the Water'" is a 1995 recording written by Gerry DeVeaux and Charlie Mole and performed by American singer Chaka Khan featuring vocals by Meshell Ndegeocello. It had been previously unreleased and was included in Chaka Khan's 1997 greatest hits album, 'Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1'. The track went to #36 on the soul singles chart. On the US dance chart, "Never Miss the Water" was Chaka Khan's sixth number one, and was her last until she again reached the summit with "Disrespectful" in 2007.

Critical reception



British magazine 'Music Week' complimented "Never Miss the Water" as a "strong" track. Ralph Tee from the magazine's 'RM' wrote, "It's not an 'I'm Every Woman' or 'Ain't Nobody', but vocally Chaka still puts virtually every one else to shame."
