In "Never Let Go", singers Keri Hilson and Anthony Hamilton explore the issues of trust and vulnerability in a romantic relationship. The lyrics express how the woman has had traumatic experiences in her past relationships and is hesitant to trust her new partner, but the man reassures her by promising to never let go. The lyrics say 'cause the lonely never win, which could suggest that the woman doesn't want to be alone and wants to risk trusting the man so she doesn't end up alone. He vows to love her with his heart and soul and never make her cry again.
Throughout the song, the singers utilize strong imagery to express their feelings. The lyrics "How can I trust you, just tell me what you want" suggests the woman has possibly communicated a misunderstanding with her past relationship that's led to the man needing clarity on what she wants in a new relationship. The chorus then repeats the message of him wanting to never let her go and to be there for her when she needs him.
