Songfacts®:

• Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine wrote this song after a "weekend bender." He told The Sun September 17, 2010: "I was totally depleted and got home, picked up a guitar and started writing this song. It's my favorite on the record. It's the most honest. It reflects a desperate longing to have somebody in my life, which I didn't at the time."
• The woman in Levine's life at the time was Anne Vyalitsyna, a Russian model he had recently started dating. She's also his co-star in the music video, showing up with him in various beds in various exotic locales.
  
  Vyalitsyna also starred in Maroon 5's video for "Misery," but in that one she's trying to murder Adam. Levine and Vyalitsyna broke up in 2012.
• "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" was the third single from Maroon 5's third album, Hands All Over, following "Misery" and "Give a Little More." The album was produced by Mutt Lange, one of the most successful songwriter/producers of his time, who put his signature sheen on the tracks. The sales numbers were sluggish, though, so Maroon 5 turned to the younger producers Benny Blanco and Shellback for their 2011 single "Moves Like Jagger," which went to #1 (this was the same year The Voice debuted, with Adam Levine as a judge). This change in direction put the band back on an upward trend, and they became very reliable hitmakers in the 2010s with tracks like "Daylight," "Animals" and "Girls Like You."
