"Never Again" is a song recorded by American vocalizer Kelly Clarkson for her third studio album, My December (2007). Clarkson co-wrote the song with Jimmy Messer, which was produced past American producer and musician David Kahne. Clarkson stated that the song was written as a counterpart to the songs from her second studio album, Breakaway (2004), and was almost removed because of its harsh lyrical nature. RCA Records serviced the song to mainstream radio in the United States on April 24, 2007. "Never Once more" features a stronger rock sound than Clarkson'south previous releases, merely maintains some pop undertones. It relies on strings, guitar riffs and drums and is centered on aroused, abrasive lyrics.

"Never Again" received positive reviews from music critics, with many citing it every bit a darker counterpart to "Since U Been Gone" (2004) and as one of her best releases. The vocal fared well in international too as domestic markets, simply failed to mimic the success of her previous lead singles. Information technology peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold past the Recording Manufacture Association of America (RIAA). It was also certified gold in Canada and Australia while peaking inside the elevation ten in both regions. The song has sold over one million downloads in the United States. The accompanying music video for "Never Again" was released on May 1, 2007 in the United States. It portrays Clarkson being drowned in a bathtub and in diverse scenes acting as a ghost, haunting her ex-young man following the end of their relationship.

Groundwork [edit]

"Never Once again" was written and composed by Kelly Clarkson and Jimmy Messer while American producer and musician David Kahne produced the song with Messer and Jason Halbert.[1] The song was conceived effectually the same subject field every bit "Since U Been Gone" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes", which were included on her 2d studio album Breakaway (2004).[two] The song was written equally a contrast to those songs, saying that "neither was originally written" with that thought in mind and were adapted "later on the fact."[2] It was near removed from My December's runway list, but Clarkson found to exist fitting as the album's opener, stating "it'south a fun song, and that'due south why we kept it. It'southward only got such great energy. It'south and then blunt — I was then aroused — and it reads so well, and so we merely went with it."[2] Kahne also provides the keys, along with Halbert, and Messer provided the guitars.[1] The instruments were played by Billy Mohler, who plays the bass, and Shawn Pelton, who provides the drums.[i]

Composition [edit]

"Never Over again" is a pop stone song with a length of 3:37 (3 minutes and 37 seconds). It besides incorporates elements of electro and alternative rock.[3] "Never Over again" consists of ringing guitar riffs, fake-strings, Queens of the Stone Age-manner drums, and sharp vocals.[3] [4] [5] The song has been described as an embittered anthem near the end of a relationship. Clarkson, in an interview with MTV, has cited Alanis Morissette's 1995 single "You Oughta Know" and Pat Benatar as influences for the tape. According to her, someone at her label disliked the vocal because it was too similar to Benatar's music. "I was like, 'Now I really like it! I love her, and what's wrong with y'all?'", Clarkson said. "I love whatsoever kind of rock chick who'southward only totally into what she's doing. What'southward funny is that we now call up of her as a rock icon, but she was pretty pop as well. And I'm pretty pop too — I'm a rock/pop girl, which is cool with me."[2]

According to the digital music sheet published at Musicnotes.com past Alfred Publishing Company, Inc, it is written in the key of M minor.[vi] The song is set up in common time a follows a moderately fast tempo of 138 beats per minute.[vi] Clarkson'southward vocals ranged from G3 to an E♭5.[half-dozen] Many critics made comparisons to "Since U Been Gone" (Breakaway, 2004). Tina Mrazik of Yahoo! Music compared information technology to "Since U Been Gone", commenting its similarity in regard to vocals.[7] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Mag describes "Never Once again" as a slightly harder and less firsthand version of the entire Breakaway anthology.[eight]

Critical reception [edit]

Sarah Rodman of The Boston Globe comments that the song "comes much closer, pleasingly so, to the polished malaise and power chords of Alanis Morissette and Pat Benatar than information technology does to, say, "Gimme Shelter" or "Nebraska.""[ix] Allmusic author Stephen Thomas Erlewine selected information technology among others as 1 of the album's best tracks.[10] Chris Willman, a writer for Amusement Weekly, comments "At that place was subversive fun to be had in witnessing America's sweetheart using Never Once more, the he-done-me-wrong showtime single, to reinvent herself as a banshee (wishing gangrene on an enemy, no less)."[11] Spence D. of IGN praised the song as an intriguing deviation for Clarkson, writing that "she's kick out the verbals with gusto."[iii]

J. Freedom du Lac, a writer for The Washington Post, commented on the vocal's poor operation on the charts compared to singles off of Breakaway, writing that it lacks a memorable melody.[12] Movie theatre Blend's Brendan Butler lauded information technology as the only radio-friendly tune on My Dec, writing that "There's no denying it'south a hot melody that would exist better accompanied by tracks not trying to repeat its identical magic."[13] Susan Frances of Hybrid Magazine described it as having the "popular-stone propulsion of Chevalle."[14] Tony Heywood of musicOMH labeled it as "A smart mini pop metallic explosion of angst and rage."[5] "Never Again" ranked number 99 on Rolling Stone 'due south list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007 and number 63 on AT40's 100 Almost Played Songs of 2007. It also ranked at number 70 on Billboard 'south 2007 Year End Nautical chart.[15] On March v, 2013, Billboard ranked the vocal #26 in its list of Top 100 American Idol Hits of All Time.[16]

Music video [edit]

Clarkson's grapheme's ghost haunting and following her ex-married man in the music video.

The music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, was shot in Los Angeles at the Staples Centre from April eleven to 13, 2007. Kahn directed ii of Clarkson's previous videos: "Behind These Hazel Optics" and "Walk Away". The video premiered on TRL on May i, 2007, peaked at number 1 on May 10, 2007, and held the top position four times. It also debuted at number eight on VH1's V-Spot countdown and has since climbed to number 3 on 5-Spot'southward latest episode. The music video was made available for download on the U.Southward. iTunes Store on May 11, 2007.

The plot involves Clarkson's character's ex-husband (Dominic Figlio) attempting to drown her in her bathtub. Then, he heads to an airport to encounter his mistress, just he is wracked with guilt over what he has done. Apparitions of Clarkson are present in his machine, and once again at the airport to haunt him. Clarkson said the video was similar to the 2000 moving-picture show What Lies Beneath because, every bit she put information technology, "You don't know if he killed me or if he's just being haunted by his conscience."[2] Clarkson then resurfaces from the bathtub, equally her ex-husband wakes upwardly from the dream, still in his car. When he walks out, Clarkson leaves the firm and drives off in the car, leaving her ex-hubby behind. Clarkson also performs the vocal with her band in an empty white room, all wearing white clothes, during various scenes in the music video. Clarkson said the white theme was present not because she was getting "cocked-fartsy" just "considering it's been ripped of innocence. Anyone who's always been in dearest, when information technology goes bad — and sadly, everyone can relate in some way — it simply gets cold and information technology'due south difficult to get past that."[2]
