"Don't Look Any Further" is a 1984 single by former Temptations lead singer Dennis Edwards, featuring Siedah Garrett. The single was written by Franne Golde, Dennis Lambert and Duane Hitchings. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Black Singles chart and peaked at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK, the song peaked at No. 45.

Guitar, bass and drum programming is by Paul Jackson, Jr.

The music video for the song has been described as "what ... might be the worst video ever".

However, given the rudimentary style of video making utilized at the time, many believe that the video was of, at least, moderate quality. Despite its simplicity, some early video aficionados descride the video as "awesomely terrible". Regardless of how critics view this video, most agree that it is visual accompaniment for one of the greatest soul songs of the 1980s.

"Don't Look Any Further" is the eighth single from British band M People. It was the third single from their second album Elegant Slumming. It was released on 22 November 1993. The song peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart.

Heather Small sings the lead duet of the song which was originally sung by Dennis Edwards, and Mark Bell sings the female part (originally sung by Siedah Garrett). Small slightly alters the third line of the first verse: "What you need is a lover, someone to take over. Oh babe, don’t look any further" instead of singing: "What you need is lover, a man to take over. Oh girl, don’t look any further".

The M People version stayed very faithful to the original, incorporating the much sampled bassline, with a trademark deeper Moog sound, and programmed drumming sticking to the same familiar bass drum beat. However, instead of the guitar in the middle eight, they used a saxophone in its place and just one set of keys with progressive and chords plays throughout with splices of percussive drumming at junctions between verses and choruses.

Backing vocals are provided by critically acclaimed British R&B gospel group Nu Colours.

The song received very positive reception from critics. The single became the fourth consecutive top 10 hit for the band and their third consecutive Top 10 from the Elegant Slumming album. It charted and peaked at number 9, spending five weeks in the Top 20 with weekly sales starting at 82,000 copies and it continued to sell over 60,000 copies in each of the following four weeks.
