Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from Kungs:
Never Going Home
Length: 2:49
Release: 2021
Opening Lyrics:
We’re only human (I can feel it)
Music (got me, hit it)
Yeah, let’s repeat it (can you feel it?)
Take me by the hand, feel the chemistry
Losing track of time in the ecstasy
It’s getting out of hand, it’s just you and me
Let’s go dancin’ ’til the morning, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
And we are never going home, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Let’s go dancin’ ’til the morning
