"I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)" foi gravada por Otis Redding em 1965 e lançada como single em abril do mesmo ano, tornando‑se seu segundo maior sucesso comercial.
A canção alcançou a posição 21 na Billboard Hot 100 e chegou ao número 2 na Billboard Rhythm & Blues chart, sendo elogiada pela Billboard como um "tender and soulful piece".
O arranjo destaca a guitarra arpejada de Steve Cropper e uma seção de metais que acompanha o vocal apaixonado de Redding.
A gravação original de 1965 foi incluída no National Recording Registry dos Estados Unidos em 2003 e, em 2011, foi introduzida no Grammy Hall of Fame.
Entre as versões de destaque, artistas como The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Etta James e Ike & Tina Turner regravaram a música, enquanto a cantora country Barbara Mandrell lançou sua primeira gravação single com a canção.
