"I've Never Been to Me" is a ballad, written and composed by Ron Miller and Kenneth Hirsch and made popular via a recording by American singer Charlene. Although its original release in 1977 barely registered on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, its re-release in 1982 reached number three on the Hot 100 and earned Charlene a gold certification in Australia, where it held the number-one spot for six weeks. In addition, the song topped the charts in Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It was also a top-10 hit in Norway, Belgium, New Zealand and the Netherlands and became Motown's first top-10 hit by a white female solo singer.
