Drew showed the world that with the help of MySpace and great word of mouth, anyone with worthwhile work ethic and talent can start a monumental snowball effect towards success. After recording an EP by himself in his basement, NeverShoutNever! became an instant online success story, averaging over 40,000 online plays a day, and headlining shows throughout the Midwest. In early July, he was positioned in the top spot on the MySpace unsigned artist listing, and his first official release, the YIPPEE EP (July 29th), was followed up by a performance on TRL’s “on your radar” segment the very next day.
Drew started his climb to stardom in mild fashion. He learned to play the guitar from a friend early in his teen years. Then, his parents bought him a Macintosh computer for Christmas and with some sound-editing software, Drew was on his way to stardom.
As of November 17, 2008, the official spelling of Ingle's alias became NeverShoutNever! It had previously been listed as Never Shout Never on iTunes and his management company’s site. An official statement regarding the reason behind the spelling change has not been made available. In an interview, Ingle revealed that there is no longer an exclamation point after his name and that he will spell NeverShoutNever as one word when he is feeling happy, but three words when he isn’t. Warner Bros. Records is spelling his name as “Never Shout Never” for the upcoming release.
After experimenting with a couple of other names, Drew settled on Never Shout Never, the name of one of his songs, to represent him musically.
Ingle follows a strict vegan diet. His music career caused him to drop out of his high school, Joplin Senior High, before graduation.

Never Shout Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Despite the fact you did me wrong.
And dear,
I don't know what the hell is going on with you,
But something ain't right.
You tell me that you love me,
Then you go and leave me,
I'm lovesick.
I just can't eat,
I just can't sleep,
Can't do much of anything at all.
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear
Dear, I wrote you this song
In hopes that you would sing along.
And dear, I've been working my ass off for you,
'Cause something ain't right.
You tell me that you love me,
Then you go and leave me,
Why you do this to me, baby?
I'm lovesick.
I just can't sleep,
Just can't eat,
Can't do much of anything at all.
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear
You tell me that you love me,
Then you go and leave me,
Why you do this to me, baby?
I'm lovesick.
I just can't sleep,
Just can't eat,
Can't do much of anything at all.
'Cause I'm sick and in love with you, dear.
In "Lovesick," Never Shout Never captures the emotional turmoil of being in love with someone who is not reciprocating your feelings. The song's opening lines express the singer's willingness to forgive, despite having been wronged by the person he loves. He is confused and frustrated by the situation and doesn't understand why the object of his affection is treating him poorly. The chorus is where the title of the song comes into play, as the singer expresses how lovestruck he is, unable to eat, sleep, or function normally because of his feelings. He is desperate for the person he loves to return his affection.
Although the song's lyrics are simple, they convey a complex array of emotions. The singer is conflicted, torn between his love for the other person and the pain they are causing him. He has put in a lot of effort to try to make things work, but the other person's actions keep throwing him off balance. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's sense of being stuck in a cycle of love and heartbreak. Ultimately, "Lovesick" is a powerful ballad about the ups and downs of falling in love and the difficulty of letting go when things don't work out.
