"Never Again" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on July 8, 2002, as the third and final single from their third studio album, Silver Side Up (2001). The song became a No. 1 hit on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, making it the band's third straight number one on this chart.
Composition "Never Again" is a hard rock song written by all four members of the band. The song is about domestic violence from a child's point of view, but was not drawn from personal experience.
Music video Nickelback originally had a music video made for the song, but the video was scrapped due to its violent nature. Instead, footage from Live at Home was shown as an alternative.
