"Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Michael Masser. It was originally recorded by American artist George Benson for his 1985 album 20/20.

A 1987 cover version by American singer Glenn Medeiros reached Number 12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 1988. It also reached number one in Canada and in four countries in Europe. Medeiros also recorded the song in Spanish under the title Nada cambiará mi amor por ti. Argentine singer-songwriter Sergio Denis also recorded a cover version for his album Afectos (1985), with Spanish lyrics written by Rolando J. Hernández. The song was additionally used in a commercial for Thinkbox in the UK in 2015. During the same year the song was used in an episode of British soap opera Coronation Street where characters Beth Tinker and Kirk Sutherland got married.

Background and release

Medeiros originally released the song on a small independent label at the age of 16, after winning a local radio talent contest in Hawaii. A visiting radio executive from KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona heard the song and took the record back to Phoenix, where, through word of mouth, it became a national hit.

Glenn Medeiros also recorded the song in Spanish under the title Nada cambiará mi amor por ti. Argentine singer-songwriter Sergio Denis also recorded a cover version for his album Afectos (1985), with Spanish lyrics written by Rolando J. Hernández. In 2009, the song was used in France in a television advert for Spontex sponges.[1]
