"Never Too Late" was the third single from One-X, the Canadian band Three Days Grace's second album, and it arrived in 2007 as one of the record's big, brooding anthems. Adam Gontier sings it with a raw ache over his and Barry Stock's guitars, Brad Walst and Neil Sanderson keep the pulse steady, and Howard Benson produced, adding keyboards of his own, while Chris Lord-Alge mixed and Mike Plotnikoff recorded it. Gontier is credited among its writers.
It spent seven weeks at the top of the US Mainstream Rock chart and crossed over to number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 30 on the Canadian Hot 100. Years later, in 2025, CBC Music's Eva Zhu remembered it as an instant favorite among the lonely, sad and angry teenagers of its day.
