"Never Close Our Eyes" is a song by American singer Adam Lambert from his second studio album, Trespassing.
Unlike singles past, "Never Close Our Eyes" is Lambert's first top twenty hit in the United Kingdom, debuting and peaking at number seventeen.
[8] Lyrically, the carpe diem-themed song is about living life to the fullest and partying until the break of dawn.
[10] Writing for the MTV Buzzworthy blog, Jenna Rubenstein gave the song a positive review, writing: "Set to a pop-rooted dance beat, Adam's rock-tinged pipes carry the entire song as he sings about staying awake 24/7 to enjoy the hell out of his life.
"[11] Robbie Daw of Idolator wrote that "while the song boasts the slickest pop production since 'Moves Like Jagger', the selling point is, as usual, Adam's angelic rocker vocals, which soar above and loop through the melody with ease.
"[12] Joe Lynch of Fuse referred to the song as "magnificently theatrical," while writing that "'Never Close Our Eyes' is a satisfying negotiation between an electro-pop banger and romantic anthem.
"[13] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone gave the song three out of five stars, writing, "'Never Close Our Eyes' is that calculated – right down to the lyric, which aims for the same party-at-the-edge-of-doom vibe as recent smashes like 'I Gotta Feeling' and 'Till the World Ends' [...] The magnificence of his strident vocals defies all formulas and precepts, mathematical and otherwise.
"[15] A negative review came from Katharine St. Asaph of Pop Dust, who wrote that "The prechorus, in particular, sounds like nobody could decide whether it called for a dubstep breakdown, spot of synth claps or Travie McCoy interjecting with his acoustic guitar.
