True Love Never Dies (Flip & Fill song)

"True Love Never Dies" is a song by English electronic music duo Flip & Fill, released as their first single as lead artists. Written by Jim Dyke and Margee Forman, the track is a mashup of "Airwave" (1999) by Dutch trance music group Rank 1 and "True Love Never Dies" (1990) by American singer Donna Williams. Flip & Fill's version features vocals from English singer Kelly Llorenna and was produced by the duo.

"True Love Never Dies" was originally released in March 2001 but did not experience chart success until a re-release early the following year, when it peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart, number 36 in Ireland, and number 83 in Australia. The song was later included on Flip & Fill's only studio album, Floorfillas, released in 2003.

After being ranked as one of the most underrated singles of 2001, the song was re-released in the United Kingdom in early 2002, reaching its peak of number seven on the UK chart for two weeks and spending 11 more weeks in the top 100, becoming Flip & Fill's first of two top-10 hits. On the Scottish Singles Chart, the single reached number two for three consecutive weeks in February 2002. At the end of 2002, "True Love Never Dies" was placed at number 99 on the UK year-end chart, and in February 2023, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) awarded the song a silver certification for sales and streaming figures exceeding 200,000 units.
