"Never There" is a song by Canadian rock band Sum 41, written by Deryck Whibley. It was released as the third single from the album Order in Decline on June 18, 2019, a week after the release of the album's second single, "A Death in the Family".
In an interview Deryck Whibley described the writing process, he said:
In an interview with Kerrang, he added that the song speaks not only of getting to know his father, but also of the link of a "something missing" that he alone can share in the world and how his mother managed to be such a good single mother.
The music video for the song was released on June 18, 2019, produced by Selfish Entertainment, and directed by John Asher. It features pro skateboarder Carl Jr Collins (better known as CJ Collins), actress Holly Lynch and the singer of the band, Deryck Whibley.
