"I'm Not Over You" is a song by American singer-songwriter and former beauty queen CeCe Peniston, originally recorded for her second album, Thought 'Ya Knew (1994), which was released on A&M Records. It was written by Steve "Silk" Hurley, Jamie Principle and Marc Williams, and produced by Hurley. The single (in the UK available only as B-side of the "Hit by Love" release) achieved number two on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, and number ten on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song charted at number forty-one. The B-side of the single included "Searchin'", which was previously released only for promotional purposes. Hurley earned the 1997 ASCAP Writer's Award for writing "I'm Not Over You".

Critical reception Jose F. Promis from AllMusic complimented "I'm Not Over You" as "fun, jazzy, finger-snapping R&B". Larry Flick from Billboard magazine felt the song "hangs on a similar [to "I'm in the Mood"] funk/hip-hop tip", adding that "she flexes her nicely matured voice to good effect, gingerly weaving in and around the rugged beat and pulsating synth melody." Troy J. Augusto from Cash Box wrote, "Nice follow-up here to Peniston's last, semi-successful 'In the Mood' release will more than likely top that tune chart-wise. CeCe's powerful, accomplished vocal style and the song's undeniable groove should go a long way in further establishing Ms. Peniston’s urban/R&B credentials." He concluded, "A star in the making, for sure."

Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "Some artists have a way with setting just the right mood. That seems to be a gift that CeCe's been blessed with, and she has no problem putting this song through its proper paces." Another GR editor, Annette M. Lai, described it as "hip-hop and jazz-flavored", naming it one of the "outstanding tracks" of Thought 'Ya Knew. Ralph Tee from Music Weeks RM Dance Update concluded, "With all its infectious hooks", this track "is the stand-out cut" of the album. Mike Joyce from The Washington Post felt that "I'm Not Over You" "reveals her soulfulness."Joyce, Mike (April 24, 1994). "Peniston and Nate': Disco Divas for the '90s". The Washington Post. p. G08.
