Sting wrote "Never Coming Home" alone, words and music, for Sacred Love, his seventh studio album, released in 2003, and he produced it with Kipper, with BT called in for additional production. Simon Osborne recorded and mixed it, and Donal Hodgson engineered.
It sits on a record where Sting went hunting for new sounds: smoother, R&B-style beats, collaborations with Mary J. Blige and sitar player Anoushka Shankar, and a rockier turn on "This War". Critics were kind, the album climbed to 3 in both the US and the UK, and it was his last album of new original songs for a decade, until The Last Ship in 2013.
