"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, [3] 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:
I never wanted to write this song, it just kind of poured out of me. I tried to fight it at first but there was no stopping it. I could tell I was writing about my dad, who I've never met and throughout my life it has always been a subject that I don't really think about or care about. It has never really bothered me and when I started thinking about why it never bothered me, I realized it was because my mum was so great and I have such a loving relationship with her. She was so strong as a single mother for my whole life that I never needed to think about my dad. [4]
— Deryck Whibley
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. [5]
The music video for the song was released on June 18, 2019, produced by Selfish Entertainment, and directed by John Asher. [3] [4] It features pro skateboarder Carl Jr Collins (better known as CJ Collins), actress Holly Lynch and the singer of the band, Deryck Whibley.
