The song was one out of three songs from the Barbershop 2: Back in Business soundtrack that were issued as a single. Released as Cole's debut single through A&M Records in March 2004, "Never" managed to appear on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at number seventy-one.[1]
Eve and Cole formed a friendship during the production of this song, but one incident caused a rift. An unfamiliar woman grabbed Eve's purse, and Cole slapped the woman. Angry at Cole for interfering with a job best left for security to handle, Eve ended their friendship.[2][3]
