Ayumi Hamasaki's 21st single marked a turning point for her with guitar-driven pop rock.
This maxi single was released as Ayumi Hamasaki's 21st single and is centered around the song "NEVER EVER," which was also used as the commercial song for Kirin's "Supplement."
Combining distorted guitars and programmed beats, "NEVER EVER" is often described as a song that takes a step away from traditional dance pop, moving towards a more pop-rock sound, and the lyrics are said to be about the determination to bounce back from setbacks. The single reached number one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and became a hit, ranking 16th on the 2001 Annual Singles Chart with cumulative sales of approximately 750,000 copies.
