Lesson plan
Ever Again
"Ever Again" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn from her eighth studio album, Honey. She wrote it with its producer, Joseph Mount. Written during a period when Robyn had grown exhausted from working on the album, it was one of the last tracks completed for Honey. The song was released as the album's fourth single on 17 June 2019 by Konichiwa Records. "Ever Again" is a dance-pop, synth-pop, and disco song. Performed over a distinct bassline, loudening synths, and layered harmonies, it draws inspiration from 1980s music, R&B, funk, and a range of pop and rock genres. Many critics have likened it to the work of musician Prince. Although Robyn said the song is about defiance, critics have interpreted its lyrics as a declaration to distance herself from the heartbreak themes that have defined much of her work. "Ever Again" received positive reviews, with many critics highlighting it as one of the strongest tracks on the album and, as Honey closing track, praising its role as the finale. In the United States, the song peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Colin Solal Cardo directed the music video for "Ever Again", which was released the same day as the single. In the video, Robyn suggestively dances with a microphone stand on a sand-filled sound stage, surrounded by Greek mythology-inspired statues and ruins.…
