I'll Never Fall In Love Again was actually written because a guy says it in a movie I was watching. I immediately thought "That would be a good song title!"
It was, for Bert Bacharach and Hal David, for the 1968 musical Promises, Promises. (And yes, I know - before your time, at least before you were listening to Top 40 radio.). Huge hit in 1970 for Dionne Warwick, and it won a Grammy.

The most successful version of the song to be released as a single in the US was by Bacharach-David protégée Dionne Warwick, whose recording made its first appearance on the Hot 100 in the issue dated December 27, 1969, to start an 11-week run that took it to number six.[5] The January 3, 1970, issue marked its first of 11 weeks on the magazine's Easy Listening chart, where it enjoyed three weeks at number one,[6] and a seven-week stay on their list of the 50 Best Selling Soul Singles in the US began in the next issue and included a peak position at number 17.[15] Her version also spent four weeks at number one on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart[16] and reached number three on the Canadian pop chart.[17] The Dionne Warwick version is noted for Burt Bacharach playing a counterpoint melody on the piano, which is heard at the fading Coda section of the song.
At the 12th Annual Grammy Awards on March 11, 1970, Bacharach and David were the songwriting nominees of "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" in the Song of the Year category but lost to Joe South for "Games People Play".[22] Because the eligibility period ended on November 1, 1969,[22] however, Warwick was not nominated until the following year, when she won in the category of Best Contemporary Vocal Performance, Female.[23]
