Influenced by <a href="/wiki/Mariah_Carey" title="Mariah Carey">Mariah Carey</a> and <a href="/wiki/Whitney_Houston" title="Whitney Houston">Whitney Houston</a>, Norwood wanted to present a more mature facet of herself with the album, incorporating a ballad-heavy style and an <a href="/wiki/Adult_contemporary" class="mw-redirect" title="Adult contemporary">adult contemporary</a> feel into her <a href="/wiki/Urban_pop" class="mw-redirect" title="Urban pop">urban pop</a> sound for the album.<a href="#cite_note-ew-8">[8]</a> Upon its release, Never Say Never facilitated Norwood in becoming a viable recording artist with media-crossing appeal. It debuted at No. 3 on the US <a href="/wiki/Billboard_200" title="Billboard 200">Billboard 200</a> chart, selling 160,000 copies in its first week, and peaked at No. 2 the following week, remaining within the chart's top 20 for 28 weeks.<a href="#cite_note-MTV-11-9">[9]</a> Six of the album's 16 songs were chosen as singles, including duet with <a href="/wiki/Monica_(singer)" title="Monica (singer)">Monica</a> "<a href="/wiki/The_Boy_Is_Mine_(Brandy_and_Monica_song)" title="The Boy Is Mine (Brandy and Monica song)">The Boy Is Mine</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Have_You_Ever%3F" title="Have You Ever?">Have You Ever?</a>", which both topped the US <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100">Billboard Hot 100</a>, as well as "<a href="/wiki/Top_of_the_World_(Brandy_song)" title="Top of the World (Brandy song)">Top of the World</a>", which become an international hit.

I don't know how to look at my first video... There was so much happening... And I'd rather go out with the first album, bang, and not have to come back and not be able to do the same thing again.<a href="#cite_note-album97-16">[16]</a> Nevertheless, after Brandy's commercial success, she was heavily pressured, stating: "It's very important to me that my music connects with the general public.<a href="#cite_note-billboard25Apr.1998-15">[15]</a> For a while, she placed the recording of the album on the "back burner" because she was "barely satisfied with the material that was presented to her.<a href="#cite_note-jet98-11">[11]</a> She found that many songs would not express what she wanted to tell at that point of her career.<a href="#cite_note-jet98-11">[11]</a> According to her, "Many of the songs I heard were not 'me'," the singer stated during a promotional interview with <a href="/wiki/Jet_(magazine)" title="Jet (magazine)">Jet</a> in 1999, "And If I can't feel it, then I won't sing it."<a href="#cite_note-jet98-11">[11]</a> Also, after Brandy, she felt in a space of wanting to do something different, while exploring her voice and playing with different sounds.<a href="#cite_note-heron-17">[17]</a> Elaborating on her desire for progression and a more mature sound, Norwood added, that "I'm not the little girl I was when I made my first record. My voice is a strong instrument now; my vocals come from both my heart and my <a href="/wiki/Diaphragm_(anatomy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Diaphragm (anatomy)">diaphragm</a>. My heart because I matured in the four years since the last album; I'm more emotionally there."<a href="#cite_note-jet98-11">[11]</a> She also regained interest with music when she met then upcoming producer Rodney Jerkins and his production team.<a href="#cite_note-album97-16">[16]</a> "They really turned it around. When I met Rodney, his tracks were so mean, so unbelievable, and the writing that Sean and Jaffey did, they came to the table and they really brought a lot of the fill ins that I had inside of me out. They changed my whole perspective on the music thing. When I started to work with them, I wanted to go to the studio every day. I wanted to sing every day. I didn't want to act anymore after that", says Norwood.<a href="#cite_note-album97-16">[16]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Recording_and_production">Recording and production</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Never_Say_Never_(Brandy_album)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Recording and production">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_(11149414586).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_%2811149414586%29.jpg/170px-Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_%2811149414586%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="267" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_%2811149414586%29.jpg/255px-Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_%2811149414586%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_%2811149414586%29.jpg/340px-Rodney_Darkchild_Jerkins_%2811149414586%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="1570" /></a><figcaption>Never Say Never was executive produced by <a href="/wiki/Rodney_Jerkins" title="Rodney Jerkins">Rodney Jerkins</a> (pictured) and his team.<a href="#cite_note-billboard2018-18">[18]</a></figcaption></figure> Production for the album dates back as early as May 1997, during this time <a href="/wiki/MTV_News" title="MTV News">MTV News</a> reported that Norwood was "taking up two recording studios in both <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York</a> and <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>, and is working on what she hopes will be a fall release".<a href="#cite_note-mtv97-19">[19]</a> Producers that were slated to work on the album at that point were <a href="/wiki/Sean_Combs" title="Sean Combs">Sean "Puffy" Combs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Babyface_(musician)" title="Babyface (musician)">Babyface</a>, David Foster, and <a href="/wiki/Keith_Crouch" title="Keith Crouch">Keith Crouch</a>.<a href="#cite_note-mtv97-19">[19]</a> During the early recording stages she recorded a few songs with Puffy but didn't finish them due to their hectic schedules.<a href="#cite_note-mtvfeature-20">[20]</a> The plan was for the pair to resume what they had started.<a href="#cite_note-mtvfeature-20">[20]</a> According to her: "I'm going to go back in the studio with him. I'm really excited to work with Puffy. I'm more nervous than excited because I'm like the biggest Puffy fan. The last time I worked with Puffy, I couldn't even sing right".<a href="#cite_note-mtvfeature-20">[20]</a> Norwood was also planning to record a song with <a href="/wiki/Wyclef_Jean" title="Wyclef Jean">Wyclef Jean</a>, in which she expressed that she had heard that his track was "so hot" and she was "ready to go in there and sing it, master it, get it done, and put it on the album".<a href="#cite_note-mtvfeature-20">[20]</a> Rapper and songwriter-producer <a href="/wiki/Missy_Elliott" title="Missy Elliott">Missy Elliott</a> was also requested as a producer at one point.<a href="#cite_note-spin2-21">[21]</a> Recording for the album resumed in October 1997, with Norwood confirming that she was "right in the middle" of completing the album.<a href="#cite_note-MTVoct97-22">[22]</a> She stated that the material was going to be "sophisticated a little, a little sexy, a little edge, but I'm still gonna be innocent, you know, I still have to give 'em that America's sweetheart thing. I have to do that, can't never get rid of that".<a href="#cite_note-MTVoct97-22">[22]</a> The albums mature direction can be attributed to Norwood being influenced by <a href="/wiki/Celine_Dion" title="Celine Dion">Celine Dion</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mariah_Carey" title="Mariah Carey">Mariah Carey</a>, <a href="/wiki/Whitney_Houston" title="Whitney Houston">Whitney Houston</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jewel_(singer)" title="Jewel (singer)">Jewel</a>.<a href="#cite_note-MTVoct97-22">[22]</a> "I look at all these other female artists that are coming out and who've done so well. I get to see what they're doin' with they self, you know, and the imaging and the songs, and I get to take bits and pieces from everybody and put it into my own style", says Norwood.<a href="#cite_note-MTVoct97-22">[22]</a> Eventually, Rodney Jerkins jumped on board and the pair recorded "The Boy Is Mine"; the sixth track recorded for the album.<a href="#cite_note-MTVoct97-22">[22]</a> Norwood stated that the song was not a friendship type of duet, "you've seen friendship duets like Whitney, Cece and different duets. This is Brandy and Monica, like, they're, we're just gettin' it on".<a href="#cite_note-MTVoct97-22">[22]</a> Jerkins was brought in when Atlantic Records A&R Paris Davis called him to meet with Norwood at Georgia's, a restaurant in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a>.<a href="#cite_note-youknowigotsoul2020-23">[23]</a> Accompanied by his brother <a href="/wiki/Fred_Jerkins_III" title="Fred Jerkins III">Fred Jerkins III</a> and songwriter <a href="/wiki/LaShawn_Daniels" title="LaShawn Daniels">LaShawn Daniels</a>, he ended up completing five songs in five days with her, including “Learn the Hard Way”, “Happy”, “Put That on Everything,” and title track “Never Say Never.”<a href="#cite_note-youknowigotsoul2020-23">[23]</a> Satisfied with their output, Atlantic Records secured a production deal with Jerkins's team and encouraged them to work on more material for the album.<a href="#cite_note-thefader-24">[24]</a> With Jerkins and his team producing the majority on the album, he was eventually promoted to <a href="/wiki/Executive_producer" title="Executive producer">executive producer</a> on the album.<a href="#cite_note-billboard2018-18">[18]</a> Jerkins and his circle worked excessively on the album, with typical sessions starting in the afternoon and lasting until the early morning hours.<a href="#cite_note-billboard2018-18">[18]</a> Despite the physical distance between the recording studios and Jerkins's native in <a href="/wiki/New_Jersey" title="New Jersey">New Jersey</a>, he brought many of his family and friends to Los Angeles to help work on the album.<a href="#cite_note-billboard2018-18">[18]</a> His brother Fred quit his steady job working at <a href="/wiki/Prudential_Insurance_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Prudential Insurance Company">Prudential Insurance Company</a> to work with Norwood on Never Say Never, while his sister Sybil received co-writing credits on the album.<a href="#cite_note-billboard2018-18">[18]</a> Drawing from their own experiences, many titles of Never Say Never were built on a cliché book in the studio.<a href="#cite_note-youknowigotsoul2020-23">[23]</a> With Jerkins being inspired by the singer/producer partnerships of <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Jam_%26_Terry_Lewis" class="mw-redirect" title="Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis">Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Janet_Jackson" title="Janet Jackson">Janet Jackson</a> as well as the influence of <a href="/wiki/DeVante_Swing" title="DeVante Swing">DeVante Swing</a> on <a href="/wiki/Jodeci" title="Jodeci">Jodeci</a>'s sound, he envisioned a full body of work for Norwood's second album, telling: "I wanted to make records where you fell in love with and heard the journey of the artists from beginning to end. The intro is just as important as the song, the outro is just as important. Once I got Brandy to believe in that vision, then we just locked in."<a href="#cite_note-youknowigotsoul2020-23">[23]</a> Apart from Jerkins and Darkchild crew, Norwood also worked with Canadian producer <a href="/wiki/David_Foster" title="David Foster">David Foster</a> on the album.<a href="#cite_note-jet98-11">[11]</a> Lending a certain level of <a href="/wiki/Adult_contemporary" class="mw-redirect" title="Adult contemporary">adult contemporary</a>–pop crossover credibility to the project, he would produce three songs on Never Say Never, including "Have You Ever?," written by his frequent collaborator <a href="/wiki/Diane_Warren" title="Diane Warren">Diane Warren</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Gordon_Chambers" title="Gordon Chambers">Gordon Chambers</a>-penned "One Voice" and "<a href="/wiki/(Everything_I_Do)_I_Do_It_for_You" title="(Everything I Do) I Do It for You">(Everything I Do) I Do It for You</a>," a cover version of Canadian singer <a href="/wiki/Bryan_Adams" title="Bryan Adams">Bryan Adams</a>'s 1991 song.

Never Say Never received mostly positive reviews from music critics. <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Thomas_Erlewine" title="Stephen Thomas Erlewine">Stephen Thomas Erlewine</a> from <a href="/wiki/AllMusic" title="AllMusic">AllMusic</a> gave the album four out of five stars and noted it a "better, more adventurous record than <a href="/wiki/Brandy_(album)" title="Brandy (album)">her debut</a>," adding: "Brandy wisely decides to find a middle ground between <a href="/wiki/Mariah_Carey" title="Mariah Carey">Mariah Carey</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mary_J._Blige" title="Mary J.

[Her] delivery has improved and her subdued vocals can make mediocre material sound convincing. Still, what makes Never Say Never a winning record is the quality songs and production."<a href="#cite_note-allmusic-80">[80]</a> Daryl Easlea from <a href="/wiki/BBC_Music" title="BBC Music">BBC Music</a> felt that the collection of smooth, mid-paced jams provided a snapshot of commercial R&B from the era. He described Never Say Never "as the epitome of a mixed bag. However, given that a lot of R&B in the late 90s sounds like an ornate musical box revolving, the album is an intelligent brew that deviates sufficiently from that template and plays to Brandy and executive producer Rodney Jerkins's considerable strengths."<a href="#cite_note-bbc-81">[81]</a> Paul Verna from <a href="/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)" title="Billboard (magazine)">Billboard</a> gave the album a mixed review. Verna felt that Brandy showed maturity and confidence on songs like "The Boy Is Mine"; yet the album as a whole was filled with “trend-conscious moves” from guest raps from Mase to “sound alike melodies ” similar to <a href="/wiki/Janet_Jackson" title="Janet Jackson">Janet Jackson</a>. Overall, he expressed that Brandy should focus more on developing her own artistry opposed to imitating other artists.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> <a href="/wiki/The_Spokesman-Review" title="The Spokesman-Review">The Spokesman-Review</a> critic Richard Harrington was positive with the album, writing: "Brandy is co-writer on six of the album's 16 songs and no matter their achievement lyrically, she finds herself grown-up and confident, without taking any false steps."<a href="#cite_note-tsr-86">[86]</a> <a href="/wiki/Rolling_Stone" title="Rolling Stone">Rolling Stone</a> magazine was generally positive with the album, giving it three stars out of five stars rating, and wrote: "Brandy exudes more pizazz than the <a href="/wiki/Hanson_(band)" title="Hanson (band)">Hanson</a> brothers combined and bursts with enough naive charm to make <a href="/wiki/Jewel_(singer)" title="Jewel (singer)">Jewel</a> look like a jaded sailor.

Considine</a>, reviewer for <a href="/wiki/Entertainment_Weekly" title="Entertainment Weekly">Entertainment Weekly</a>, felt that Norwood's voice was lacking passion on the album.<a href="#cite_note-ew-8">[8]</a> Although he indicated that it was "hard to argue with Brandy's deference to the rhythm, especially when she rides one of producer Rodney Jerkins itchily propulsive tracks," he also noted that it was flattening "its emotional range, until the romantic bliss of "Happy," the dogged determination of "<a href="/wiki/Never_Say_Never_(Brandy_song)" class="mw-redirect" title="Never Say Never (Brandy song)">Never Say Never</a>," and the conflicted affection of "<a href="/wiki/Angel_in_Disguise_(Brandy_song)" title="Angel in Disguise (Brandy song)">Angel in Disguise</a>" all end up sounding pretty much the same."<a href="#cite_note-ew-8">[8]</a> He gave the album a B rating.<a href="#cite_note-ew-8">[8]</a> Angela Lewis, writer for <a href="/wiki/The_Independent" title="The Independent">The Independent</a> was disappointed with the album, saying: "This is pop R&B without the soul, and could see Brandy without a future in the adult big league. She lacks real command of tracks like "<a href="/wiki/Have_You_Ever%3F" title="Have You Ever?">Have You Ever?</a>", showing she's better at playing by the rules than anything else."<a
