"I Could Not Love You More" is a song by the Bee Gees from their twenty-first studio album, Still Waters, released in 1997 as the album's second single. The song is a pop ballad written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb and recorded in Los Angeles in March 1996. The track was produced by the Gibb brothers and David Foster. The track was a moderate hit worldwide, peaking at #14 in the UK and appearing in serious charts all over Europe.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week rated the song three out of five, writing, "The Gibb brothers tremble through a gentle ballad. It's sweet, but unlikely to match the success of Alone." [1]

The song's accompanying music video for "I Could Not Love You More" shows the band singing in a black background and on a street, intercut with scenes of a relationship between a man and a woman. It also features two young kids, a boy and a girl, on a pier.
