"Forever Love" is the debut solo single released by British singer-songwriter Gary Barlow, taken from his debut solo album Open Road (1997). The song was also used as the official theme for the film The Leading Man (1996).

The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number one where it stayed for one week, before being dethroned by the Spice Girls' debut hit Wannabe; thus making Barlow the first member of Take That to top the charts with a solo record. It remained in the Top 75 for a total of 16 weeks selling 512,294 copies and being certified as Gold by the BPI.

The official music video of Forever Love is shot in black and white and begins with Gary Barlow waking up alone and looking out of a window which critics believe symbolises the start of a new chapter in Barlow's career. He is then shown to partake in a number of day-to-day activities and finally ends up in a downtown cafe where he witnesses all types of love that exist between people before returning to his studio.
