Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics

We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but you’re too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what’s been going on (going on)
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but you’re too shy to say it (to say it)
Inside, we both know what’s been going on (going on)
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

“Never Gonna Give You Up” remains an iconic song by the talented English singer and songwriter, Rick Astley. Released on 27 July 1987, it was their debut single and instantly captivated audiences around the world. The track was expertly written and produced by a team called Stock Aitken Waterman and became a key part of Rick’s debut album, “Whenever You Need Somebody”, which was launched the same year.

The popularity of the song soared to unprecedented heights, making it a huge worldwide hit. In the UK, it dominated the charts for an impressive five weeks and emerged as the best-selling single of that entire year. It didn’t stop there, it also hit the number one spot in 25 other countries including the United States and West Germany. The following year, “Never Gonna Give You Up” received the coveted Best British Single award at the 1988 Brit Awards, establishing itself as Rick Astley’s signature song and a favorite choice for the finale of his live performances.

In an interesting twist, the song’s music video experienced an unexpected resurgence in 2007, courtesy of the “reroll” Internet meme. In this clever prank, people were tricked into clicking a deceptive link that only redirected to the “Never Gonna Give You Up” music video. This humorous viral trend brought the song back into the limelight and even earned Rick Astley the prestigious MTV Europe Music Award for Best Act of 2008 thanks to a fierce online campaign by his fans.

Showcasing his versatility and creativity, Rick Astley decided to breathe new life into the beloved track in 2019. He released a special edition known as the ‘Pianoforte’ rendition, showcasing a beautiful and fresh piano arrangement. This soulful version was thoughtfully included on his album “The Best of Me”.
