Considering part of the movie takes place in India, the song successfully incorporates themes from Bollywood and Bhangra music. Indian instruments like the “Tabla” and traditional Indian drums called, “Dhol” can be heard in the background. The song was produced by Sia’s frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin.
At the Capri Hollywood International Film Festival, Sia won the Capri Peace award for her song “Never Give Up.”
[Verse 1]
I’ve battled demons that won’t let me sleep
Called to the sea but she abandoned me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t never give up, no, never give up, no, no
No, I won’t never give up, no, never give up, no, no
[Chorus]
And I won’t let you get me down
I’ll keep gettin’ up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
I won’t let you get me down
I’ll keep gettin’ up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, I’m haunted by the distant past
Called to the skies but she was she overcast
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t never give up, no, never give up, no, no
No, I won’t never give up, no, never give up, no, no
[Chorus]
And I won’t let you get me down
I’ll keep gettin’ up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
I won’t let you get me down
I’ll keep gettin’ up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Never give up, never give up
Never give up, never give up
No, no, oooh
[Chorus]
And I won’t let you get me down
I’ll keep gettin’ up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
I won’t let you get me down
I’ll keep gettin’ up when I hit the ground
Oh, never give up, no, never give up no, no, oh
[Post-Chorus]
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
I’ll find my way, find my way home, oh, oh, oh
