Never Again

About the Artist

“Never Again” is a deeply moving original song from Australian country singer-songwriter Penny Burke, told through the eyes of a child living with fear and uncertainty at home. With stark, heartfelt lyrics, Penny captures the sound of conflict behind closed doors, the instinct to hide, and the comfort found in a sister’s embrace. At its heart, “Never Again” is about domestic and family violence, the pain of not being believed, and a desperate longing for safety. The repeated words “Never Again” echo a mother’s promise, carrying both the heartbreak of a cycle that is difficult to escape and the hope that it can finally be broken. Honest, vulnerable and powerful, “Never Again” gives voice to experiences too often kept silent. Through her storytelling, Penny invites listeners to hear, believe and stand beside those affected by violence, reminding us that everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home.
