"Never Scared" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Bone Crusher, released as his debut single and the lead single from his debut album, AttenCHUN!. The song was produced by Avery Johnson and features fellow American rappers Killer Mike and T.I.. It originally was created by Mississippi rappers Reese and Bigalow. The song became a top-40 hit, reaching number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, while also reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot R&B Hip-Hop and Rap charts. The success of the single propelled AttenCHUN! to reach number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, although Bone Crusher's success would be short-lived as "Never Scared" would be his only charting single. The song, however, was only the first of many future top 40 hits for T.I.

The official remix (dubbed "The Takeover Remix") features fellow rappers Cam'ron, Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes. The song was used by the Atlanta Braves as its theme song for the 2003 season. A Madden Remix to "Never Scared" is also featured on the video game Madden NFL 04.
