"Before You Walk Out of My Life" is a song by American R&B singer Monica. It was written by Andrea Martin, Carsten Schack, and Kenneth Karlin, with production helmed by Schack and Karlin under their production moniker Soulshock & Karlin. Initially helmed for fellow R&B singer Toni Braxton's Secrets (1996) album, it was left unused and later re-recorded by Monica for her debut album Miss Thang (1995).

In the United States, "Before You Walk Out of My Life" became Monica's second #1 hit on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, spending two weeks at number-one. It also reached #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, #8 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, and #3 on the UK R&B chart. Additionally, the song was ranked #38 on the 1996 Billboard year-end chart and certified platinum by the RIAA.

"Before You Walk Out of My Life," alongside previous single "Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)," made the singer the youngest recording artist to have two consecutive number-one hits on Billboard's R&B chart at the age of fourteen.
