According to [[MTV News]], the song was inspired by the end of Clarkson's relationship with [[David Hodges]], although she never confirmed this statement. It also provided some of the inspiration for the songs "[[Behind These Hazel Eyes]]", "[[Since U Been Gone]]", and "Where Is Your Heart" on her second studio album, ''[[Breakaway (album)|Breakaway]]'' ([[2004 in music|2004]]).<small><ref>[http://www.kellyclarkson.com/main.php?content=biography "Breakaway Bio"].

Yet, she decided to keep it because she thought it would be appropriate as the opening track on the album, andwhich was later released as the first single from ''My December''. "It's just got such great energy", Clarkson said. "It's so blunt &mdash; I was so angry &mdash; and it reads so well, so we just went with it."<small><ref name=MTVNews-Apr2007/></small>
 
Clarkson has cited the influence of [[Alanis Morissette]]'s [[1995 in music|1995]] single "[[You Oughta Know]]" and [[Pat Benatar]] on "Never Again"; according to her, someone at her label disliked the song because it was too similar to Benatar's music. "I was like, 'Now I really like it! I love her, and what's wrong with you?'", Clarkson said. "I love any kind of [[Rock music|rock]] chick who's just totally into what she's doing. What's funny is that we now think of her as a rock icon, but she was pretty [[Pop music|pop]] as well. And I'm pretty pop too &mdash; I'm a [[Pop rock|rock/pop]] girl, which is cool with me."<small><ref name=MTVNews-Apr2007/></small>
