About Never Say Never

"Never Say Never" is a song written, performed and produced by British electronic music duo Basement Jaxx. Featuring vocals from Elliot Marshall (credited under the stage name "ETML"), it was written by Simon Ratcliffe, Felix Buxton and Marshall. A soulful disco, house, R&B pop song, it was compared to the works of artists including Calvin Harris, SBTRKT, Womack & Womack and Gavin DeGraw, and labels such as Ministry of Sound and West End Records. The song was well received by critics, with praise going towards the group's roots that never made the sound too dated. "Never Say Never" was released on 27 June 2014, as a single off their 2014 album Junto. Remixes by Tiësto, MOTi, Gotsome Bring It Back, Wayward and Mark Knight have also came out, as well as an extended mix of the original song. In the group's home country, it reached number 18 on the UK Indie Chart. Elsewhere it became a number-one hit on the American Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, and the duo's fourth song to top that chart. It also appeared on record charts in Australia, Belgium and Japan. The official accompanying music video, written and directed by Saman Kesh, premiered on 21 July 2014, and follows Japanese scientists trying to make a twerking robot.

Oh, never mind, we tried
We loved
We conquered, I won't forget
The taste
Oh, no

I'll never say never again
I'll never say never
I'll never say never again
I'll never say never
I'll never say never again

The music brings me right back
And you know that
And you know that
I got the answers in me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Like a vision of love
You came, you stood
You blew right through me
I have no regrets
The tears, the hopes

I'll never say never again
I'll never say never
I'll never say never again
I'll never say never
I'll never say never again

The music brings me right back
And you know that
And you know that
I got the answers in me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

The music brings me right back
And you know that
And you know that
I got the answers in me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Oh, sing my love
Oh, sing my love
Oh, sweet my love
Oh, sweet my love

Oh, sing my love
Oh, sing my love
Oh, sweet my love
Oh, sweet my love

We've all just gotta be
'Cause answers rarely come easily
We've all just gotta be
Then finally, finally we're free

I'll never say never
I'll never say never again

Oh, sing my love
Oh, sing my love
Oh, sweet my love
Oh, sweet my love

Oh, sing my love
Oh, sing my love
Oh, sweet my love
Oh, sweet my love

The music brings me right back
And you know that
And you know that
I got the answers in me
Tell me, tell me, tell me

It's like I hear an angel calling
The music
