"This Time" is a song by British singer-songwriter Dina Carroll, released on 15 February 1993 by A&M Records as the fourth single from her debut album, So Close (1993).

In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote that "This Time" follows the format of the Christmas hit "So Close" with "a slushy ballad that may just fail to capture the public imagination.

"[6] Phil Shanklin of ReviewsRevues complimented the "strong interplay" between her and the background vocalists, who would later be singing in the British R&B girl group Eternal.

"[7] Tony Mortimer from East 17 reviewed the song for Smash Hits, stating, "This girl's gonna be massive".

"[8] A black-and-white music video was produced to promote the song, directed by Irish filmmaker Michael Geoghegan.
