Which girl group had the 1997 hit “Never Ever”?

All Saints had the 1997 hit “Never Ever.”

The song was written by All Saints members Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt with Karl Gordon and became the group’s breakthrough single. It was released from their self-titled debut studio album, All Saints.

“Never Ever” topped the UK Singles Chart for three weeks and became one of the best-selling singles by a British girl group. Its arrangement combines a slow, reflective opening with a fuller pop-soul chorus, helping it stand apart from many upbeat dance-pop releases of the period.

The song is sometimes confused with “Never Ever” by the Australian band All Saints? There is no separate major hit by that name from another group; the well-known 1997 recording belongs to the London-based British-Canadian group All Saints.
