"Saving Forever for You" is a song performed by American singer Shanice, written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. It was one of the singles released by Giant and Reprise from the 1992 soundtrack album Music of Beverly Hills, 90210. It became Shanice's second and final top 10 US single, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it does not appear on her 1999 compilation album Ultimate Collection. A music video was filmed for the song, featuring Brian Austin Green from Beverly Hills, 90210.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "If you're hankering for fresh material from this highly talented pop/urban ingenue, look no further. This tune from the soundtrack to Fox-TV's Beverly Hills 90210 is a sugary ballad that is given depth by Shanice's sincere delivery. While she would be better served by an arrangement that has a little less gloss, any chance to feast on her voice is well worth taking."[1]
