"Can't Stop Loving You" was the lead single from English singer Phil Collins’ solo album Testify, released in 2002. It also appears on Collins’ 2004 album Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New. Although it received minor airplay, the song became Collins’ eighth number-one Billboard adult contemporary hit.[7] The song also reached the number ten on the Eurochart.
Collins originally recorded the song in 2000 for a love songs project, along with "Least You Can Do", but both tracks were released on Testify instead. [8] Collins' version has some minor changes in the lyrics and introduces a bridge after the second chorus.
