"Always" is a synth pop ballad by British duo Erasure. It was released in 1994 as the first single from their sixth studio album ''I Say I Say I Say''. Mute Records issued the single in the UK, while Elektra Records released it in the U.S. "Always" was written by Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell, and is produced by Heaven 17 and Human League founder Martyn Ware.

The song is based around synthesized programming by Clarke and Bell's subdued vocals and love-inspired lyrics. The music video features Bell in a stylised Chinese or Japanese ghost story inspired backdrop.

The song quickly became Erasure's thirteenth Top 10 song on the UK singles chart, peaking at number four. In Germany, "Always" hit number five. In the United States, the single became Erasure's third Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, six years after their last major U.S. pop hit. On the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, "Always" climbed to number six.
