"Praying for Time" is a song written, produced, and performed by English singer and songwriter George Michael, released on Epic Records in the United Kingdom and Columbia Records in the United States in 1990. It was the first single from his second studio album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 (1990), spending one week at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Michael's seventh number one in the US and his last solo single to top the chart. "Praying for Time" also reached number one in Canada, becoming Michael's penultimate number-one solo hit there. Its accompanying music video, directed by Michael Borofsky, didn't feature Michael as it only featured the lyrics of the song.
