The Always Never project – and the origin of the duo’s name – centres around the theme of contradiction, which is reflected in their songwriting. They draw inspiration from real life experiences, particularly relationships – especially when those in relationships let you down. People who are Always, yet Never, there.

Always Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreamt it since the day she said I ain't him
Remember when they said we'll never make it
Now I'm out here vibing as my day shift
Just booked a trip to Atlanta then I'm going south
Was always in the making never had a doubt
Might hit up all the islands spend about a month
Now she's salty like the water that I float above
Oh no no
Message in a bottle that you tryna throw
It bounce right back, girl let go
Rather be back on my own
Own
Really thought I had it all before
Broke my heart in two and just left it on the floor
Got myself a new girl, all I want is more
All I want is more, Bentley poster on the door, yeah
Really thought I had it all before
Broke my heart in two and just left it on the floor
Got myself a new girl, all I want is more
All I want is more, Bentley poster on the door, yeah
Landed back in 'Ronto now ya hittin up
Saw me on the gram really living up
You showed up at my place so that's enough
Oh don't 'cause a scene, how ya holdin up?
What could I do? I left when I left 'cause I felt like I had to
You were loyal till the minute I had bad news
Couldn't count on you, ooh oh
Move on, on, on
Message in a bottle that you tryna throw
It bounce right back, girl let go
Rather be back on my own
Own
Really thought I had it all before
Broke my heart in two and just left it on the floor
Got myself a new girl, all I want is more
All I want is more, Bentley poster on the door, yeah
Really thought I had it all before
Broke my heart in two and just left it on the floor
Got myself a new girl, all I want is more
All I want is more, Bentley poster on the door, yeah
The song Return to Sender by Always Never is about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer of the song feels hurt by his former lover's rejection and seeks to move on by living his best life. The lyrics suggest that he was not initially fixated on this person and that the relationship was not something he was desperate for. However, after being rejected, he feels the need to prove himself to her by showing her that he is successful and can live without her.
The lyrics describe the singer's newfound confidence and carefree attitude. He is now able to book trips, vibing at work, and enjoying life. He mentions having a new girl and aspiring towards material possessions like a Bentley, which he uses to demonstrate his progress towards self-actualization. Despite his apparent success, the singer still seems to be grappling with his past. He mentions how he thought he had everything before, but now he is only seeking more. He is still longing for something that is elusive, and this desire is not entirely about his newly acquired material possessions but also about finding emotional fulfillment.

Don't create a fuss, how are you doing?
What could I do? I left when I left 'cause I felt like I had to
I had no other choice, I left because it was necessary
You were loyal till the minute I had bad news
You were faithful until I received negative news
Couldn't count on you, ooh oh
I couldn't depend on you
Move on, on, on
It's time to let go and move on
