“Never Gonna Come Back Down” by BT featuring M. Doughty and Mike Doughty

"Never Gonna Come Back Down" finds BT handing the microphone to Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing: Brian Transeau composed the music, and Doughty wrote the words and sings them. It lives on Movement in Still Life, BT's third studio album, which reached British shops on October 8, 1999, and turned up in America in a different form in 2000, where this track went out as a single.

That American edition was rebuilt for US ears. Several minutes came off every track, the songs were left unmixed and set apart with breaks, and the running order got shuffled, with this song and "Madskillz-Mic Chekka" stepping into the space the old opener left behind. The whole album tilts toward hip hop, and *NSYNC later borrowed a sample from another of its cuts, "Smartbomb", for their international hit "Pop", which BT produced.
