Conan Gray’s Never ending Song

Conan Gray’s latest single, “Never Ending Song,” marks a new era for the platinum-selling singer. Drawing inspiration from the new romantic period of the 80s, Gray combines nostalgic elements with a modern twist, creating infectious hooks that captivate listeners. The accompanying music video is also iconic, showcasing Gray’s artistic evolution.

Working with renowned producer and songwriter Max Martin, Gray creates a bright and bold new anthem that details a partnership that can’t be extinguished – no matter how much you want it to be. “It goes on and on and on/Like a never-ending song,” he explains in the chorus, later asking: “Can you make us stay forever?/Are we done?”

Conan Gray, born on December 5, 1998, is an American singer and songwriter. He gained recognition by uploading vlogs, covers, and original songs to YouTube during his teenage years. In 2018, Gray signed a record deal with Republic Records, leading to the release of his debut EP, “Sunset Season” in the same year. His debut studio album, “Kid Krow,” was released in 2020 and achieved commercial success, reaching number five on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and becoming the biggest U.S. artist debut of the year. The album featured popular songs like “Maniac” and “Heather.”

Gray’s second studio album, “Superache,” was released in 2022 and received critical acclaim. It debuted in the top 10 charts in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

In the captivating music video, Conan Gray dances energetically throughout a grocery store, showcasing his moves in various aisles. As the store closes for the night, a group of dancers join him, extending the choreography to the checkout area.

Gray explained that the song and video depict a universal experience: a painful and tumultuous relationship that seems to persist despite attempts to end it. He reflects on how the story can drag on endlessly, questioning whether this is intentional or if there is a secret desire for it to never truly end. Gray has always found solace in expressing his sadness through upbeat music, adopting a lighthearted approach to life’s challenges.

With “Never Ending Song,” Gray aims to create something that authentically represents who he is at present—a celebration of emotions rather than dwelling on them. He emphasizes the beauty of growth and change, viewing the song as the start of a larger narrative.

Of the music video, he added that he wanted it to be an “example of what we all wish we could do when our favorite song comes on.” “You’re snapped into your own little world, where suddenly everything feels like a music video,” he said. “Your walk falls into the beat; your outfit feels a little cooler – you just want to sing along. I’ve had so many moments in life where I’ve been at a grocery store, in school, anywhere in public and just desperately wanted to break into a full-blown lip-sync dance break but couldn’t.”

“Never Ending Song” is Conan Gray’s first release following his second album, “Superache,” which came out in 2022. The album marked a reunion with Dan Nigro, who had previously collaborated with Gray on his debut album, “Kid Krow.” “Superache” set a standard for emotional expression among Gen Z listeners, showcasing Gray’s candid songwriting and vulnerability. With “Never Ending Song,” Gray continues to evolve as a pop artist and maintain his reputation as a relatable and emotionally expressive figure for his audience.
