"Never Gonna Dance Again" is a pop song produced by british producer Xenomania for the Sugababes' fifth studio album, Change (2007). It is the third single to be released from the album, following the second single Change. Keisha stated in an interview on Danish tv:
" There was a track a couple of years ago that we recorded called 'Never Gonna Dance Again' and back then we couldn't stand the track but then years later we've come back now and obviously we had to re-write parts for Amelle to replace Mutya but when we heard it again we actually were like 'yeah its quite good' and it turned out to be one of our favourites on the album."
Then she said later on in the interview:
"Like I said before with 'Never Gonna Dance Again' you know that's gonna be a single now."
Reception
'Never Gonna Dance Again' has already been up for song of the day on Popjustice and many reviewers call it one of the best songs on the album.

Eat Red Meat Day is a carnivore holiday scheduled for it's first celebration on November 1, 2007.
Eat Red Meat Day is a celebration of the joy of eating red meat and the right and ability to do so. Participants celebrating Eat Red Meat Day are encouraged to have at least one meal that includes red meat, but including red meat in all meals that day is preferable.
Red Meat
Red meat, while sometimes used to mean "beef," refers to beef, lamb, venison, bison and any other meat that is red before cooking, which typically comes from mammals, but includes goose and duck.
Pork, while advertised as "The Other White Meat" in order to appear healthy, is considered by the USDA to be red meat.
White Meat
White meat, mainly consisting of poultry, but including veal, rabbit, and milk-fed lamb, are frowned upon on Eat Red Meat Day for obvious reasons.
Vegetables
In any given meal on Eat Red Meat Day consumption of vegetables on is acceptable in the form of a side item, but should be minimized as an ingredient for the main entree, less than twenty percent if possible. It is preferable to remove vegetables from the main entree whenever they are not absolutely necessary (example: a cheeseburger should be eaten without lettuce, tomato, etc., but a meatloaf may include onions, bell peppers, etc. as necessary ingredients.)
