"No Ordinary Love" is a song by English band Sade, released in September 1992 by Epic Records as the lead single from their fourth studio album, Love Deluxe (1992), on which the song appears as the opening track. It was written by lead singer Sade Adu and Stuart Matthewman. In the United Kingdom, the single was originally issued in September 1992, then was re-issued in May 1993 following its appearance in the erotic drama film Indecent Proposal.
The song was commercially successful, reaching the top 10 in Greece and Italy and entering the top 40 in seven other countries. In the accompanying music video, directed by Sophie Muller, Adu plays a mermaid who wants to be a bride. American magazine Rolling Stone included "No Ordinary Love" on their list of the "500 Best Songs of All Time" in 2024.
