"My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" is a song by American female group En Vogue, released in 1992. It is the lead single from their multi-platinum hit album, Funky Divas. VH1 ranked it #43 on its list for the "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s".The single was certified gold by the RIAA for sales/shipments of over 500,000 units.

The song appears in the 1995 movie Canaleo and the 2007 Chris Rock film, I Think I Love My Wife, as well as on the soundtrack to video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and in the episode of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch titled "Ping, Ping A Song". In 2016, the song appears in the introduction of the movie Central Intelligence. In Lip Sync Battle, Queen Latifah sang this.

"My Lovin'" contains a sample of the guitar riff from the James Brown song "The Payback". The guitar sample is looped throughout the entire song and forms the basis of the melody. The song features Maxine Jones and Dawn Robinson on lead vocals. In a 1992 article, En Vogue mentioned this was one of the last songs they recorded for Funky Divas, which resulted in it being released as a single so close to the album's release date.

"My Lovin'" was the group's fourth number one on the Hot Soul charts. It debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart at #71, the week of March 21, 1992, and jumped to #47 by the following week. The single glided into the top tier, reaching its peak of #2 by the week of May 16, 1992, where it remained for three consecutive weeks. "My Lovin'" was one of several top contenders during the summer of 1992 that was held out of the top spot by Kris Kross (#1 for 8 weeks with "Jump").
