"Will I Ever" is the third single release by Dutch Eurodance group Alice Deejay. Released in July 2000 as the third single from Who Needs Guitars Anyway?, the song was slightly less successful than the band's previous single "Back in My Life", but nonetheless reached the top 10 in Ireland, the Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Music video

A music video was made for the song. It features Alice Deejays in three different roles, as a singer/dancer, as a security guard and as a Greek woman. In the first part, it features Judith Pronk, aka Alice Deejay, and Alice Deejay dancers (Mila Levesque and Angelique Versnel) in the hallways of an empty, white building on a stormy night. Alice Deejay as a female security guard also roams around the area. She reaches a painting depicting a Greek woman, who is also Alice Deejay, and stops to look at it realizing the resemblance between the two of them. The figure in the portrait blinks, and the guard steps inside. The next part of the video features many people dressed in ancient Greek apparel dancing in a temple with a statue; Alice Deejay and her dancers are also there. The security guard is then shown arriving at a restroom. She sings next to a mirror as the Greek woman admires a man and feeds him grapes. As the guard exits the restroom, all the Greeks feed each other grapes and other fruits. In the final section of the video Alice Deejay sings and dance with her dancers. The video ends back at the stormy building, showing the painting the security guard looked at previously, and Alice Deejay inside is now still.

Chart performance

Although not as successful as both "Better Off Alone" and "Back in My Life", "Will I Ever" still proved to be a hit, charting within the top 10 in Ireland, Romania, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the band's native Netherlands. In the UK, the song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart, but charted higher in Scotland, reaching number two on that region's chart, ensuring the band's first three singles all reached the top two. In Ireland, the song was the band's final top 40 hit, reaching number eight. In the rest of Europe, the song fared well, reaching the top 40 in Flemish Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland. Outside the continent, the song did not garner success in Australasia or the United States, but it did manage to find some popularity in Canadian dance clubs, reaching number 24 on Canada's RPM Dance chart.
