"We May Never Love Like This Again" is a song written by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn for the 1974 disaster film The Towering Inferno.[1] It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and was performed by Maureen McGovern both for the film score and, briefly, in the film itself with McGovern portraying a singer.[1]

Her recording was issued as a single along with her rendition of "Wherever Love Takes Me", a song from the film Gold, which would compete with "We May Never Love Like This Again" for the Best Song Oscar, serving as B-side. "We May Never Love Like This Again" reached #83 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the single was a top-five hit in Australia.
