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.
In October 2010, Christofer announced in an interview with Phoenix New Times that he would like to drop the name 'Never Shout Never' and become 'Christofer Drew and the Shout' because he is "sick of this band and the negative connotations with the band." He is also planning to switch from acoustic to more "feel-good rock-n-roll" music.

Lust
nevershoutnever! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These modern times evaporated any chance for trust
To live a fool or die alone
To say goodbye or be disowned
Make a choice or live inside the gray
I know everybody knows
Everybody knows it takes time
To figure it out
I've been so preoccupied with lust
The rush it takes me over
Then it leaves me more fucked up
To be a perv or be a prude
To make false love or push on through
Trusting that she really does exist
The one you heard about
When you were still a child
Don't give up just yet
You still got so much time
To figure it out
I've been so unsatisfied with touch
See I've kissed 7 thousand women
Yet I still can't get enough
To have some fun or sleep alone
To hit the bars or just go home
Make your choice or live inside the gray
I'm okay
I just wanna fall in love
I just wanna fall in love
I just wanna fall in love
I just wanna fall in love
The first stanza of nevershoutnever!'s "Lust" reveals the singer's hesitance towards love and relationships. He seems to view love as a risky venture, where the choices you make can either lead to fruitfulness or loneliness. By referencing the "gray," he places love in a morally ambiguous space, where there isn't clear-cut right or wrong. The second stanza delves into the idea of lust, which the singer seems to be more preoccupied with than love. He speaks of the rush it gives him, but how it ultimately leaves him unsatisfied. He also calls out the decision to either be a prude or a perv, again highlighting the pervasive dichotomy of morality. The third stanza portrays the singer as someone who's been around the block when it comes to physical intimacy, having kissed 7,000 women. Yet, he's still left unfulfilled, leading him to question whether he should "hit the bars or just go home." Despite his hesitance towards love, the singer ultimately just wants to fall in love, suggesting that despite the potential risks, there's something appealing and ultimately necessary about romantic connection.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been so disinterested in love
I've lost interest in romantic relationships
These modern times evaporated any chance for trust
Distrust has become a commonplace perception in our time
To live a fool or die alone
Choosing between taking risk or being lonely
To say goodbye or be disowned
Either choose to leave or lose the acceptance of family and friends
Make a choice or live inside the gray
Decide between black or white or float around in gray areas
I know everybody knows
I'm aware that this is a common knowledge
Everybody knows it takes time
It takes a long time to figure out
To figure it out
To understand what love is all about
I've been so preoccupied with lust
My focus has been on sexual desires more than love
The rush it takes me over
The feeling is overwhelming
Then it leaves me more fucked up
But then it only worsens my emotional state
To be a perv or be a prude
To either be overly sexual or overly reserved
To make false love or push on through
To either have superficial relationships or persist despite difficulties
Trusting that she really does exist
Having faith that there is someone out there for me
The one you heard about
The ideal partner that one has always dreamed about
When you were still a child
A fantasy that one has had since childhood
Don't give up just yet
Hold on to hope
You still got so much time
There's still enough time to find love
I've been so unsatisfied with touch
Physical intimacy has failed to fulfill me
See I've kissed 7 thousand women
Even with a high number of physical encounters, I am still not satisfied
Yet I still can't get enough
It's still not enough to satisfy my emotional need
To have some fun or sleep alone
To either engage in casual sex or choose to be alone
To hit the bars or just go home
To either seek temporary pleasure or seek solitude
Make your choice or live inside the gray
Either decide or continue living in an indecisive position
I just wanna fall in love
All I want is to experience love
I just wanna fall in love
It's all I'm asking for
I just wanna fall in love
I yearn for a true romantic relationship
I just wanna fall in love
I long for a love that is genuine
