"Never Never" is the title of the only single released by the Vince Clarke project, the Assembly, in 1983.

The song features Feargal Sharkey of the Undertones on vocals; Sharkey's performance on "Never Never" was a total departure from the punk sound of the Undertones. The song peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and stayed on the chart for ten weeks. The music video for "Never Never" was featured on the video version of Now 1 but the song itself did not appear on the album version.
