"Never Say Die" is the title track from the 1978 album Never Say Die! by Black Sabbath. It was the last single Black Sabbath wrote with now legendary singer Ozzy Osbourne until 1998's Psycho Man, who left the band and went on to a successful solo career. Osbourne actually left the band before Never Say Die! was released, but came back to record this album. During live performances, he often opens the song by saying it was the last song he wrote with Black Sabbath.

The band collectively chose the title as a phrase that summed up the previous ten years of their lives. It deals with never giving up.
