If I Ever Fall in Love Released September 28, 1992 Format CD single Recorded September 10, 1992 Genre A cappella Length 3 : 09 Label Gasoline Alley, MCA Songwriter ( s ) Carl `` Groove '' Martin Producer ( s ) Carl `` Groove '' Martin Shai singles chronology `` If I Ever Fall in Love '' ( 1992 ) `` Comforter '' ( 1993 ) `` If I Ever Fall in Love '' ( 1992 ) `` Comforter '' ( 1993 ) `` If I Ever Fall in Love '' is a song by American R&B - soul quartet Shai. The song reached number 2 in the US in 1992, and peaked at number two on the US R&B chart. Its eight weeks at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, which was held off from the top slot due to the massive success of `` I Will Always Love You '' by Whitney Houston, meant that it held the record for the second-most weeks at number two in the chart 's history at the time, behind Foreigner 's `` Waiting for a Girl Like You ''. The record has since been equalled and surpassed, and `` If I Ever Fall In Love '' is now in joint ninth place with a number of more recent songs. The song was also their only Top 40 hit in the UK, peaking at number 36.
