創作背景
歌曲的最初名字叫《Sexy Together》,歌詞寫的是“性感”,由NLT的成員特拉維斯·加蘭演唱,當時他只錄製了一段小樣帶。之後,他認為這首歌曲並不適合自己,於是亞當·麥辛傑等人就出資購買了這首歌曲,並對其重新填詞,讓其變成了一首勵志歌曲 。為了配合該《功夫夢》的少年勵志的主題,製片方請來了賈斯汀·比伯來演唱這首主題曲,而電影的主演賈登·史密斯也參與到了該曲的創作和演繹 。
歌曲歌詞
英文歌詞
Justin Bieber - Never Say Never
See I never thought that I could walk through fire
I never thought that I could take the burn
I never had the strength to take it higher
Until I reached the point of no return
And there's just no turning back
When your hearts under attack
Gonna give everything I have
It's my destiny
I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up up up
And never say never (and never say never ,and never say never ,and never say never)
I never thought that I could feel this power
I never thought that I could feel this free
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea
And there's just no turning back
When your hearts under attack
Gonna give everything I have
It's my destiny
I will never say never! (I will fight)
I will fight till forever! (make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up up up
And never say never
Here we go!
Guess who?
JSmith and Jb!
I gotcha lil bro
I can handle him
Hold up, aight?
I can handle him
Now he's bigger than me
Taller than me
And he's older than me
And stronger than me
And his arms a little bit longer than me
But he ain't on a JB song with me!
I be trying a chill
They be trying to side with the thrill
No pun intended, was raised by the power of Will
Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove
Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood
I gotta be the best, and yes
We're the flyest
Like David and Goliath
I conquered the giant
So now I got the world in my hand
I was born from two stars
So the moon's where I land
I will never say never!(I will fight)
I will fight till forever!(make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up, up, up
And never say never
I will never say never!(I will fight)
I will fight till forever!(make it right)
Whenever you knock me down
I will not stay on the ground
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up, up, up
And never say never
Never say never
Never say never
Never say never
Never say never
Never say never
And never say never

歌曲鑑賞
《Never Say Never》的音調以G大調為主,擁有每分鐘96次持續的、較穩定的節拍,賈斯汀·比伯的音域控制在G#4到C#6之間,歌曲依循“Am–C–G–D”的和弦進行 。歌曲的大多部分由賈斯汀·比伯演唱,賈登·史密斯演唱了最後的說唱部分。這是一首勵志歌曲,擁有鼓舞人心的歌詞,很契合電影的主題。歌曲就像是埃米納姆《Lose Yourself》的語言友好版 。賈登·史密斯的說唱技巧也和其父親威爾·史密斯有得一比 。
歌曲MV
《Never Say Never》的MV由Honey執導,在《功夫夢》電影的末尾播放。MV在一個錄音室中拍攝,賈斯汀·比伯和賈登·史密斯在錄音室中看著《功夫夢》,同時在麥克風前演唱歌曲,賈登·史密斯還展示了霹靂舞,兩人也時時打鬧。MV中穿插了許多電影的情節,包括賈登·史密斯飾演的德里·帕克初到北京、接受成龍扮演的韓先生訓練等等 。
