When John Legend wrote and recorded “Never Break” for “Giving Voice,” he never intended to release the song before the film. The documentary, directed by James D. Stern and Fernando Villena, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, after which Netflix decided on a December release — almost 11 months later. Then the world began to spin a bit differently, and Legend realized it was the sort of song people needed to hear sooner rather than later.
“Obviously, the year started out with the pandemic. We didn’t know how bad it was going to get at first,” Legend says. “And then we saw what happened with George Floyd and how upset and frustrated so many Black Americans felt seeing another example of our lives not being valued. And then my own personal issues with my wife and the loss of our pregnancy. It was just like situation after situation was calling for this song, and I just needed to have it out in the world.”
