In 2005, Gore recorded "Ever Since" (her first album of new material since "Love Me By Name" in 1976), with producer/songwriter Blake Morgan, with the label Engine Company Records. The album received favorable reviews from "The New York Times", "Rolling Stone", "Billboard", and other national press. The album also included a revised version of "You Don't Own Me", about which the "New York Daily News" wrote: "In Lesley Gore's new version of 'You Don't Own Me'—cut more than 40 years after its initial recording—she lends a pop classic new life." Gore commented: "Without the loud backing track, I could wring more meaning from the lyric". And: "It's a song that takes on new meaning every time you sing it."
