"After All" is a 1989 Billboard Hot 100 hit song performed as a duet by American singer and actress Cher and American singer and bass player Peter Cetera (former lead vocalist of Chicago), released on February 21, 1989 by Geffen Records. It was used as the love theme for the movie Chances Are and was nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards 1989. The song was also the first North American single release from Cher's nineteenth album Heart of Stone. The song appears on Peter Cetera's 1997 album You're The Inspiration - A Collection.

The single peaked at number six in the United States and Canada. However, it did manage to enter some European charts, including Ireland, where it peaked at 24, and the United Kingdom, where it reached 84.

"After All" also became Cher's first solo number one hit on the Adult Contemporary chart in the United States, her earlier number one was in 1971 when Sonny & Cher's "All I Ever Need Is You" spent five weeks at the top. It was ranked #79 on US Billboard Year-end Hot 100 singles of 1989. The song found strong success stateside, but no video was ever made to further promote it. It was certified Gold by the RIAA for the sales of 500,000 copies. As of November 2011, Billboard reported the digital sales of "After All" to be 226,000 in the US.
