The song's basslines were produced using a Yamaha DX7 digital synthesizer, while a Linn 9000 was used for the drums and sequencing. Other equipment used included a Roland Juno 106 analog synthesizer, and Yamaha Rev5 and Rev7 reverberators.[nine]

Mike Stock stated that the Colonel Abrams hit "Trapped" (1985) was a large influence on "Never Gonna Give You Up", proverb: "For Rick Astley's song I didn't want it to sound like Kylie or Bananarama so I looked at the Colonel Abrams rail 'Trapped' and recreated that syncopated bassline in a mode that suited our song."[ten]

The title and concept for the song were suggested by Pete Waterman later Astley spoke to him of his devotion to his and then girlfriend, with the vocal'due south tune, chords and lyrics so composed by Mike Stock and Matt Aitken.[11] Initial mixing was done past Phil Harding, with the song's distinctive constructed string and brass lines afterward added by Fairlight operator Ian Curnow.[xi] The terminal mix was provided by PWL remixer Pete Hammond, who fabricated the vocals more prominent. His completed extended mix was edited down by Stock and Aitken to become the radio version.[xi]

Rickrolling

"Never Gonna Give You Up" is the subject of an Cyberspace meme known every bit "rickrolling" involving misleading links (commonly shortened URLs) redirecting to the song's music video.[19] Originally started by users on 4chan, by May 2007, the practice had achieved notoriety on the Net, and information technology increased in popularity after its use as a 2008 April Fools' Twenty-four hour period joke by various media companies and websites—including YouTube, which rickrolled all of its featured videos on that twenty-four hours—allowing people to easily rickroll their friends' devices.[20] "I think information technology's just one of those odd things where something gets picked upward and people run with it", Astley told the Los Angeles Times in belatedly March 2008, calculation: "That's what'south brilliant most the Cyberspace."[21]

Astley likewise appeared in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Twenty-four hours Parade, interrupting a song performed past those on a float promoting the Cartoon Network program Foster's Dwelling for Imaginary Friends with a lipsynched performance of "Never Gonna Give You Upwardly".

Time Out listed "Never Gonna Give You Up" at number 33 in their The l all-time '80s songs list in 2018, calculation, "Those synthesized strings, that thumping boots-and-pants crush, Astley's weirdly robust croon and his romantic-wooing-equally-used-car-salesman pitch ('Y'all wouldn't get this from whatever other guy')… It all adds up to three-and-a-half of the most effervescent minutes in the '80s catechism."[25]

The song was reportedly played as part of a psychological campaign to convince Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega to give up during the United States invasion of Panama in 1989,[26] forth with other songs such as the Clash's cover of "I Fought the Police".[27]

In April 2020, The Guardian ranked it at number 44 in their list of The 100 greatest United kingdom No 1s.[28]

People accept said they even cried (during) the church scene."[30]
