A canção foi escrita e produzida pelos produtores James Mtume e Reggie Lucas, sendo gravada por Stephanie Mills para o álbum *Sweet Sensation* em 1980.
O tema foi inspirado na chegada da filha de Reggie Lucas, Lisa, dando ao título um significado de “amor que nunca se conheceu antes”.
No Brasil a faixa não teve destaque nos charts nacionais, mas nos Estados Unidos chegou ao sexto lugar na Billboard Pop Singles Chart, superando o hit de 1979 “What Cha' Gonna Do with My Lovin'”.
Em 1981, a música recebeu dois Grammys, conquistando as categorias de Melhor Canção R&B e Melhor Performance Vocal Feminina R&B, superando nomes como Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross e Roberta Flack.
O sucesso foi revivido em 2019 quando a frase “Never Knew Love Like This Before” foi usada como título do quarto episódio da segunda temporada da série *Pose*, onde a personagem Candy (Angelica Ross) faz um lip‑synching que foi aplaudido pela crítica.
