"Never Never" kicked off the campaign for The Paradigm Shift, Korn's eleventh studio album, and it marked a homecoming: the first Korn single since 2004 with co-founding guitarist Brian "Head" Welch in the lineup. Don Gilmore produced and mixed it, with Mark Kiczula and Jasen Rauch engineering.
Jonathan Davis called it a relationship song, about getting hurt so badly you swear off love, and about the pressure of trying to be a good father, husband and partner all at once. Radio got it on August 12, 2013, and it gave the band their first number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, which left Davis marvelling that twenty years in they were still making music people liked. A lyric video came first, then a proper clip directed by Giovanni Bucci.
