It has gained significant airplay on U.S. radio and has charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Pop Songs, while reaching the top ten on the latter.

Background

Frontman Adam Levine wrote this song after a "weekend bender." He told The Sun September 17, 2010: "I was totally depleted and got home, picked up a guitar and started writing this song. It's my favourite on the record. It's the most honest. It reflects a desperate longing to have somebody in my life, which I didn't at the time."[4]

Composition

"Never Gonna Leave This Bed" is written in the key of A minor (performed in G♯ minor) with a moderate pop rock tempo of 117 beats per minute. The song follows the chord progression Am–F/A–C/G–G (the pop-punk progression), and Levine's vocals span from B3 to D#5 [5]

Critical reception

Jakof Dorof from Slant Magazine said that: "The band turns in career highlights with the harmony-laden "Never Gonna Leave This Bed."[6] Sarah Rodman from The Boston Globe said that: "“Never Gonna Leave This Bed” nails the hunger to prolong the perfect moment with an intoxicating partner with its sweet, sexy swing."[7] IGN said: "the romance-friendly track "Never Gonna Leave This Bed," has a Keane-like feel".[8] Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly opined that: "Levine's romantic roundelay trundles on the Train-ish midrange balladry (Never Gonna Leave This Bed)".[9]

Music video

The music video for the song was shot on January 12, 2011, at several different places including Santa Monica and downtown Los Angeles, California. The video shows scenes of Levine and Vyalitsyna in three different bed settings, including one at a pier on the beach of Santa Monica, another on Broadway in Los Angeles, and a third setting in an upper floor of the Hilton Hotel. The video also features the band performing in a glass truck from Aardvark Event Logistics, alternatively while driving down a highway during the day, and on a busy street in downtown Los Angeles at night, while onlookers take photos.[10][11] The video premiered on Just Jared on February 4, 2011, and the day after on VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown.[12] The video hit number seven on the Yahoo! Video chart published by Billboard.[13]
