"Never Say Die" is a song recorded by Scottish synthpop band Chvrches. Written by the band and its producer Greg Kurstin, it was released by Glassnote Records on 29 March 2018, as the third single from the band's third studio album, '' Love Is Dead'' (2018).

In a statement, Lauren Mayberry said that it is "one of my favorite songs on the record because it really leans into the juxtaposition of what we do—the mixture between the dark and the light", describing it as "melodic and direct but uses some of ...

Clearest Blue
"Clearest Blue" is a song by the Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches and the third single from the band's second studio album, ''Every Open Eye''. Background While talking about the origins of the song on the ''Song Exploder'' podcast, Martin Doherty and Iain Cook explained that the trio originally intended "Clearest Blue" to be a laid-back song with just two chords. Still, because they are notoriously bad at sticking to their own rules, they end up with something completely divergent from those ideas. After coming up with the base sample, they bounced ideas around, with Doherty adding "nonsense vocals" to establish the basic cadences of the song. Lauren Mayberry began writing the lyrics to replace these vocals but found herself frequently concerned that her pessimism would bleed through into the song's lyrics in parts intended to be hopeful. The song is typically described as building and building until it ultimately explodes at its melodic climax, but Doherty described it as more ...

Abby Johnston of ''The Austin Chronicle'' called Mayberry's performance in the song "at the level of a modern-day Cyndi Lauper."
