"Never Miss the Water" is a 1995 recording written by Gerry DeVeaux and Charlie Mole, and performed by American singer Chaka Khan.

[2] On the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, "Never Miss the Water" was Chaka Khan's sixth number one, and was her last until she again reached the summit with "Disrespectful" in 2007.

Produced by David Gamson, the track cruises at a breezy classic funk pace, giving Miss Thing plenty of room to work her voice to maximum effect.

The original version sparkles with multiformat hit potential, while Frankie Knuckles comes to the party with a rousing house remix that will have Khan's legion of club disciples twirling with delight.

"[5] In 2003, a cover version credited to Gerry DeVeaux, Shauna Jensen, Robyn Loau and Michal Nicolas was released in Australia as the official anthem for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras.
