Rasa beda yang ditawarkan oleh Never Let You Go sebagai single ke-2 dari album My World 2.0 (US Version) dari Justin Bieber adalah ballad. Kalau kita sudah disuguhi dengan non-stop dance yang di lagu Baby, ini saatnya cooling down dengan nada-nada yang lebih slow dan santai. Ini merupakan hasta karya dari Bieber yang dibantuin oleh duo produser Johnta Austin dan Bryan-Michael Cox. Dengan lirik yang menyatakan kesengsem dan segala rayuan a la remaja, Bieber berada dalam posisi nyamannya menyampaikan setiap kata dalam liriknya. Bukan hal yang asing bagi Bieber tentunya. Dia bahkan memasukkan kata 'favorite girl' yang sepertinya sudah sangat lengket dengan seorang Justin Bieber.
Ada beberapa fakta menarik dari Never Let You Go ini. Pertama adalah di bagian chorus yang ajaibnya memliki kesamaan dengan bagian chorus lagu berjudul Forever oleh Chris Brown. "It's like an angel came by, and took me to heaven" yang dipakai oleh Bieber mirip dengan beat "It's like I've waited my whole life, for this one night" yang dinyanyikan oleh Chris Brown. Kedua, di chorus ke-2, ada suara gitar elektrik yang mengiringi. Ini cukup menonjol, berhubung dari awal beat R&B yang lembut dan santai. Video klip untuk lagunya sudah bisa dinikmati di JustinBieberVEVO lho. Disitu menampilkan Bieber dalam sebuah ruangan seperti museum dengan akuarium besar bersama seorang cewek slow dancing.
I really really really adore this young man. Dia begitu mempesona dengan suaranya yang merdu dan masih bersih, belum pecah akibat akil balik. Never Let You Go membuktikan bahwa Bieber termasuk penyanyi yang cukup handal dan sangat membanggakan, karena dalam usia muda sudah bisa dikenal di seluruh belahan dunia.

Lyrics:
Oh no, oh no, oh
They say that hate has been sent
So let loose the talk of love (of love, of love)
Before they outlaw the kiss
Baby, give me one last hug (last hug, last hug)
There's a dream that I've been chasing
Want so badly for it to be reality (reality, reality)
And when you hold my hand then I understand
That it's meant to be
'Cause baby when you're with me
It's like an angel came by (oh)
And took me to heaven
(Like you took me to heaven, girl)
'Cause when I stare in your eyes
It couldn't be better
(I don't want you to go, oh no)
So let the music blast
We gon' do our dance
Bring the doubters on
They don't matter at all
'Cause this life's too long
And this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure
That I'll never let you go
I got my favorite girl
Not feeling no pain, no fear (no fear, no fear)
Don't have a care in the world
Why would I when you are here? (are here, are here)
There's a moment I've been chasing
And I finally caught it out on this floor
Baby, there's no hesitation
No reservation
By taking a chance and more
Oh no, because
It's like an angel came by
And took me to heaven
(Like you took me to heaven, girl)
'Cause when I stare in your eyes
It couldn't be better
(I don't want you to go, oh no)
So let the music blast
We gon' do our dance
Bring the doubters on
They don't matter at all
'Cause this life's too long
And this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure
That I'll never let you go
It's like an angel came by
And took me to heaven
(Like you took me to heaven, girl)
'Cause when I stare in your eyes
It couldn't be better
(I don't want you to go, oh no, so)
Take my hand (take my hand)
Let's just dance (let's just dance)
Watch my feet (watch my feet)
Follow me (follow me)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Girl, I'm here (girl, I'm here)
If you didn't (if you didn't know) know, this is love
Let the music blast
We gon' do our dance
Bring the doubters on
They don't matter at all
(Oh baby)
'Cause this life's too long
And this love's too strong
So baby, know for sure
That I'll never let you go
So don't fear
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
I am here
(I'll never let you go)
Don't she'd a tear
Whenever you need me
I'll be here
I'll never let you go
Oh no, oh no, oh
I'll never let you go
Oh no, oh no, oh
I'll never let you go
