Songfacts®:

  • While coming up with the title for the Never Had the Time album, the band was sure of one thing: they couldn't name the album after its lead single... and that's exactly what they did. Singer/songwriter John Sponarski explained in our interview: "It was a bit of an interesting choice for us, I think, because I'm not sure 'Never Had the Time' is the catchiest song on the record or even what a traditional single should be. But for us it kind of embodied what we were going after for this record. It best represented what we were trying to do musically. The phrase really embodied what was going on with all of us up to the record release because we were just spread so thin trying to work enough to make enough money to be able to press this thing and do this whole thing independently."
