The reserved teen of Sunset Season is long gone. Today, Conan Gray graces our ears with his latest single, “Never Ending Song,” and it’s further establishing his place as a fully polished pop star at the top of his game. Co-written and co-produced by the legendary Max Martin and Ilya, the track takes us on a journey like no other, defying all expectations, and leaving you in awe from the very first listen.
The mesmerizing allure of “Never Ending Song” lies in its pulsating beats, intertwined with Gray’s New Romantic, velvety baritone voice that dances over a captivating 80s-inspired synth melody. The contrast is exhilarating and truly unexpected, leaving listeners craving more. As the track progresses, Gray’s vocals soar to astonishing heights, effortlessly hitting stunning high notes that perfectly complement the richness of the earlier verses while revealing Gray’s natural voice.
The release is a remarkable departure from his previous chart-topping albums, the monumental Superache in 2022 and the critically acclaimed Kid Krow in 2020, and once again proves Conan Gray is one of the most magnetic voices of his generation. It’s clear Gray aims to surpass his own towering success with his album. If “Never Ending Song” and his new collaborators are any indication, he’s undoubtedly bound to achieve even greater heights.
Speaking about the inspiration behind “Never Ending Song,” Conan Gray shares, “It encapsulates a universal tale we’ve all experienced: a tumultuous and painful relationship that refuses to fade away, no matter how many times you try to extinguish it. The story seems to persist endlessly. Perhaps it’s by design, or maybe deep down, you secretly wish for it to endure. I’ve always found solace in disguising my sorrows within upbeat music. It’s been my way of navigating life without taking myself too seriously—after all, life can be painfully overwhelming,” he chuckles.
