"After the Lovin'" is a single by Engelbert Humperdinck, composed by Ritchie Adams with lyrics by Alan Bernstein. The single was a U.S. top-ten hit in late 1976/early 1977, reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Cash Box Top 100.[2] It became a gold record. It is ranked as the 61st biggest U.S. hit of 1977.[3] The song also reached number 40 on the country singles chart and spent two weeks atop the easy listening chart.[4]

In Canada, "After the Lovin'" reached number seven and was the 80th biggest Canadian hit of 1977. It also reached number one on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.[5]

In New Zealand, the song spent one week at number one,[6] and was the 10th biggest hit of 1977.[7]

The song failed, however, to chart in the UK, despite Humperdinck's earlier successes.
