We Won't Stop is a funk album, originally released by The Brand New Heavies in 2002, exclusively in Japan and Korea.

This was the first independent release since the group's record contract with FFRR/Warner ended. The highlights of that decade were assembled in the greatest hits album Trunk Funk – The Best of The Brand New Heavies. However, since then, the band lost both N'Dea Davenport and Siedah Garrett as lead singers.

For this album, The Brand New Heavies relied on singer/songwriter Sy Smith for the bulk of the female vocals. Original member Jan Kincaid takes the lead on three of the tracks, and Los Angeles-based poet Gina Loring makes several appearances on the album. Where the Heavies typical sound had typically been more 1970s funk-styled and acoustically driven, We Won't Stop sees the band experimenting with more electronic elements and contemporary R&B.

The album marked the first commercial release of "What Do You Take Me For", the band's lone track featuring former flagship lead vocalist N'Dea Davenport. The track would be later re-recorded in a more modern configuration with Nicole Russo on lead for the Allabouthefunk album. The sound and musical arrangement heard on these first releases of "Music", "Love Is...", and the title track "We Won't Stop" were re-recorded with new leads on N'Dea Davenport's 2006 return to the band for the comeback album Get Used To It.
