"Never Gonna Dance Again" was written by Sugababes members Keisha Buchanan and Heidi Range in collaboration with Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, Lisa Cowling and Nick Coler. The song was originally written and recorded for the group's previous album "Taller in More Ways", but was cut from the final track listing due to the girls not being fond of the song. During production of the fifth album, they came back to the track and grew to like the song, prompting the group to add it to the track listing of "Change".
