I think that's why the whole time I knew that if I didn't write I'd be out on my ear". "Looking back on it, that was pretty low. "He asked who had written it, so then they were forced to come back and get me," Lewis commented. It was their version of Lewis's own song "Never Ever" that made him pay attention to the music. Soon after they signed their first major label deal with London Records, she discovered that the rest of the group- Melanie Blatt and Canadian sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton-had presented the label head with a tape of vocal recordings they had made without her. Lewis wrote the song after splitting up with a boyfriend, but the music conveyed the impression that all would be well. The song was written by All Saints member Shaznay Lewis along with co-writers Robert Jazayeri and Sean Mather, and was produced by Cameron McVey and Magnus Fiennes. "Never Ever" was released as the second single from their first album All Saints. At the 1998 Brit Awards, "Never Ever" won British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year.Īfter the success of their debut single " I Know Where It's At", the group decided to record and produce their debut full-length studio album. The North American featured the group in a church, while the European/Australian version featured the group near a swimming pool and in their homes. Two music videos were shot for the single: the European and Australian version, and an American version, due to the mass success in those countries.
