"Never Gonna Let You Go" is a popular song from 1982, written by the husband-and-wife songwriting team of lyricist Cynthia Weil and composer Barry Mann.
The best known rendition, however, is sung by Joe Pizzulo and Leeza Miller on the 1983 self-titled album of Brazilian bandleader Sérgio Mendes.
Weil and Mann had originally submitted "Never Gonna Let You Go" to American funk band Earth, Wind & Fire, but they decided not to record the song.

In a June 2021 video posted on YouTube, record producer Rick Beato called "Never Gonna Let You Go" "the most complex pop song of all time", due to its use of frequent key changes, inverted chords and unusual chord progressions.
