Evanescence - Never Go Back - New Song - 2011

The 11th track on Evanescence's self-titled album, Evanescence (album), previously titled "Orange". Amy revealed that the official title of the song is "Never Go Back".

In an interview with MTV, Amy said:
It wasn't about my life so much... when we first got into preproduction... the earthquakes and the tsunami happened in Japan and we were all totally glued to paying attention to it and these incredibly heart breaking images and everything... it was consuming my mind and we were working on that song at the same time... and I came in the next day and I was like "guys! I'm totally gonna make this song about the tsunami, like I have a great idea"... and i'm feeling like this human connection with it, obviously I haven't experienced it, but I don't know, it was cool to write about something a little bit outside myself and yeah that isn't what I usually do, and I love that song.


In a track-by-track interview with NME.com, Amy added:
Never Go Back was actually inspired by the earthquakes and tsunami in Japan. While we were writing a bunch of music at pre-production that was going on. And I just remember, you know, we were just watching the news and looking at all these pictures on the internet, and just like... I was just inspired and feeling a lot of feelings, just of empathy and sympathy, and just sort of like 'wow, what would that be like'... you know. Putting myself in the situation in my head.

Sort of accidently I guess, when I do the thing where I go home and do my homework, and work on the lyrics. I just sort of was writing without thinking about why and after a minute I was like 'oh okay, I'm thinking about Japan, and I'm singing about Japan'. Like, why not just let this song be that story. So, it's about losing everything, you know, and about life beyond your control.
