“Never Know” is the fifth track by Why Don’t We from their sophomore EP, Something Different.
This track is about how having a negative mindset will always result in negative results or outcomes. You’ll “never know” what could’ve happened if you don’t take chances or risks.
[Intro: Corbyn]
'Cause only never comes when never's all you know
[Verse 1: Zach & Jack]
Tired of runnin' from tomorrow
I lie awake on sleepless nights
Will I ever know the answer to the writin' on the wall?
Will I ever find the light?
[Pre-Chorus: Jonah, Daniel & Corbyn]
These days when struggle's all you know
These days when trouble's at your door
You're doin' your thing tryin' to cope
Don't hold onto pain, let it go
'Cause never comes only when never is all that you know
[Chorus: Zach, Jack, Daniel & Corbyn]
You gotta take the chance right in front of you
You gotta make your plans, what you gonna do?
This could be your last dance, so you better leave it on the floor
'Cause only never comes when never's all you know
[Post-Chorus: Corbyn]
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
[Verse 2: Zach & Jack]
I can never know forever
Let it go without a fight
I've been searchin' for the answer to the writin' on the wall
I've been lookin' for the light
[Pre-Chorus: Jonah, Daniel & Corbyn]
These days when struggle's all you know
These days when trouble's at your door
You're doin' your thing tryin' to cope
Don't hold onto pain, let it go
'Cause never comes only when never is all that you know
[Chorus: Zach, Jack, Daniel & Corbyn]
You gotta take the chance right in front of you
You gotta make your plans, what you gonna do?
This could be your last dance, so you better leave it on the floor
'Cause only never comes when never's all you know
[Post-Chorus: Corbyn]
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Never Know was written by Candice Pillay & Corbyn Besson & Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery & Zach Herron & Jonah Marais & R8DIO.
Never Know was produced by R8DIO.
Why Don’t We released Never Know on Fri Apr 21 2017.
In Why Don’t We’s autobiography ‘In the Limelight’, Corbyn Besson said this about the song:
I feel like “Never Know” is so underrated. It’s the one song we’ve done that’s not necessarily about love; it’s about inspiration and pushing forward and following your dreams.
