"Have You Ever" is a song by British pop group S Club 7, released as a single on 19 November 2001. Following the success of the group's 2000 Children in Need track, "Never Had a Dream Come True", the BBC asked S Club 7 to perform the 2001 track for the charity as well. "Have You Ever" was co-written by Cathy Dennis, Andrew Frampton, and Chris Braide. "Have You Ever" acted as an introduction to S Club 7's third album, Sunshine (2001).

The single entered the UK Singles Chart at number one on 25 November 2001, becoming the group's fourth and final UK number one. The Children in Need version of "Have You Ever" is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the highest number of people's voices recorded in a single song; as recordings from children in schools across the UK were used in the chorus. The song has sold 380,000 copies in the UK according to the Official UK Charts Company. The photo for the cover of the single was shot in another major architectural landmark of the Los Angeles area: the Sheats Goldstein Residence near Beverly Hills.[citation needed]

Music video

The music video was set inside a large house (which is actually the famous Ennis House in Hollywood Hills), showing each member briefly as they indulge in everyday activities, while O'Meara is the main focus of the video. O'Meara revealed that to film the shot of her crying, they used droplets of water on her cheek, and sped the track up to film it, so when it was mastered it would give the illusion of a real tear. Another interesting note about the video is that it was the last video Paul Cattermole shot for the group as "You", the following single, was intended to be the next release and thus had been recorded previously. The video was shot at the last minute, the day before the band returned to the UK after filming Hollywood 7 as the song was chosen for the Children in Need song.

Children in Need performance

During the performance on Children in Need on 16 November 2001, the group were joined by S Club Juniors which was their first television appearance.

Six live school choirs sang along. These were:

They were joined by 3610 other schools who sent in audio tapes to be included on the chorus.
