Never Let It Go was the Swedish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn, performed by the girl band Afro-Dite.

The song was a cheery number about a woman dancing the night away with the man she loves. The girls appeared in glittering silver, waist-length gowns. The song was originally intended for Alcazar but they rejected it.

It was performed 12th on the night, following Switzerland and preceding Finland. At the close of the voting, it finished in 8th place with 72 points.

Lyrics

(Don’t ever stop) All right, girls
(Are you shakin’?) Here we go

Surrounded by sharp lookin’ eyes, dancin’ in a fever
Forgettin’ all the words of advice, movin’ in and closer
What a life we have, what a life we live
And it’s smiling right at us
What a life we share, gonna get it there

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We’ll be shakin’, shakin'

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight
And when the night is over
I’ll take you in my arms now

Blinded by the scent of your love, sailing on this feeling
And my mind is high up above, I don’t know if I’m dreaming
What a life we have, what a life we live
And it’s smiling right at us
What a life we share, gonna get it there

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We’ll be shakin’, shakin’ (We’ll be shakin’)

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight (We will reach the top)
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We’ll be shakin’, shakin’

What a life we have, what a life we live
(And when the night is over)
What a life we share, gonna get it there
(I’ll take you in my arms)

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We’ll be shakin’, shakin’
(Shakin’, shakin’, shakin’, shakin’)

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight
And when the night is over, I’ll take you in my arms now

So never let it go, never stop till you know
We’ll be reachin’ for the top tonight
Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat
We’ll be shakin’, shakin’
(Shakin’, shakin’, shakin’, shakin’)

So never let it go, never stop
