"Whenever You Need Me" is a song by British band T'Pau, released as the lead single from their 1991 third studio album The Promise. The song was written by vocalist Carol Decker and rhythm guitarist Ron Rogers. It was produced by Andy Richards.

Released as the leading single from the band's The Promise album, the song gave the band their eighth Top 40 single, where it peaked at #16 in the UK, and lasted in Top 100 for a total of six weeks. However, it also became the band's last UK Top 40 hit to date.

In 2003, a live version of the song appeared on the T'Pau album Greatest Hits Live! and its various re-issues.

In addition to the 12" vinyl extended version of the song, another over six minute remix, "Whenever You Need Me (Requiem Remix)", was issued on the CD version of the following 1991 single "Soul Destruction".

The single was issued on 7" and 12" vinyl, as well as CD, via Siren Records, and was marketed/distributed by Virgin Records. It was released in the UK and Europe only, including Germany and Italy. Additionally, a one-track promo was released in America via the Charisma label.

The 7" vinyl release featured the b-side "All the Love", which was a non-album track exclusive to the single. The song was written and produced by all six members of T'Pau. It has remained exclusive to the single to date and has not appeared elsewhere.

On the 12" vinyl release was issued in the UK and German, where the featured track was an extended version of "Whenever You Need Me", whilst the two other tracks were "Whenever You Need Me (Single Version)" and "All the Love".

Additionally in the UK only, a limited edition box-set was also released which contained the 12" vinyl single, as well as a 'Life Size' colour poster of Decker. The single and poster was housed in a deep orange box embossed with silver text and a belly band.

The UK only CD single release featured the single version of "Whenever You Need Me" along with three of the band's previous hits; "Heart and Soul", "China in Your Hand" and "I Will Be with You". All of these tracks were from the band's 1987 debut album Bridge of Spies. They were written by Decker and Rogers, whilst being produced by Roy Thomas Baker.
