"Never Be the Same Again" is Melanie Chisholm's third single from her debut solo album, Northern Star (1999). The single was released on 20 March 2000. It entered and peaked number one on the UK Singles Chart, knocking fellow Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's single "Bag It Up" down to number four. "Never Be the Same Again" became Chisholm's first solo single to reach number-one and was co-written with producer Rhett Lawrence. It sold 144,000 copies in its first week, selling more than 400,000 copies altogether, making it the eighteenth best seller of 2000.[1] The song features rapped verses and co-writing credit from the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC. According to The Official Charts Company, the song became Britain's 853rd number-one single.[2] The music video for "Never Be the Same Again" was directed by Francis Lawrence. The clip features Chisholm and Lopes and also shows the two performing Tai-chi.

The music video shows Melanie with short blonde hair as on the CD-cover wearing white clothes. It begins with a CD player (which says Good day in Icelandic, suggesting that the video is based in Iceland) and sound system starting up a in a metal and glass room in a high building with glass bridges with smoke rising from below with a field background. She is also seen jogging on a treadmill with a changing foreground in front, she is also seen lying in shallow water and on a bed in the dark with orange laser moving down her. Lisa Lopes comes into the video to do her rap and both of them are seen doing Tai-chi. Later Melanie is floating up in a high-ceiling room and ends with Melanie looking at the outside view. The video includes shots of Iceland's famous Blue Lagoon.
