Discover the story of the song > Whenever You Need Somebody – Rick Astley

The song is about a man who has been hurt and taken for granted in a past relationship, but he is willing to put that aside for the chance to be with his partner. He tells her that he'll always be there for her whenever she needs him, and doesn't need her to say she loves him back - he just wants to be with her. He acknowledges that it's too late for her to change her ways, but he is willing to keep trying because he cares for her.
