"In Our Lifetime" is a song by British band Texas. The first single prior to their fifth studio album The Hush, it was released worldwide in March 1999.

The song was included on the soundtrack of the 1999 romantic comedy Notting Hill.
Content
Texas lead singer Sharleen Spiteri commented on the song:
"I think it's pretty important to say, 'Once in a lifetime, you have seen what I've seen/You will always swim for shore.' To me, that's a personally important lyric and that's how I write. I'm talking about a relationship where, for the first time, I've met someone who's the same as me. You don't find that often: this person who challenges the thoughts I challenge other people with. That's why I refer to it being once in a lifetime."
— Sharleen Spiteri, [1]
Critical reception
In his review of The Hush, Stephen Dalton from NME wrote that "these 12 tracks perform their ear-soothing job with ruthless efficiency", noting the "opulent swingbeat trundle" of "In Our Lifetime".[2]
