"Ever Again" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn from her eighth studio album, Honey. The singer wrote it with its producer, Joseph Mount. It was one of the last songs written for the album. It was released as the fourth single from the album on 17 June 2019 along with an accompanying music video. Three official remixes by Planningtorock, Soulwax, and Patrick Topping were released on 9 July, 23 August, and 4 October 2019 respectively.
“Ever Again” is a dance-pop, synth-pop, and disco song featuring a pulsating bassline and crescendoing synths, drawing influence from R&B and 1980s music. Many critics likened it to the work of musician Prince. Robyn has described the song as being about defiance. Critics have interpreted its lyrics as a declaration that she will no longer be defined by heartbreak, a theme frequently associated with her work, and have viewed its placement as the album’s closing track as offering a hopeful resolution to the album’s emotional narrative. The song received positive reviews, with many critics highlighting it as one of the strongest tracks on the album and praising its role as Honey's finale.
Robyn promoted the single with live performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
