Never Too Far is a song written and produced by American singer Mariah Carey, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Careys tenth album/soundtrack, Glitter. The protagonist of this ballad states that although physical distance can sometimes separate lovers, the love they share will never be too far apart. It was released as the albums second single in October 2001, and was Careys first radio airplay-only release in the U.S. after 1998 when Billboard magazine had given chart eligibility to singles that werent released in a physical format. Never Too Far reached No. 105 on the Billboard chart. It was not solicited to R&B radio stations in the U.S. As a double A-side with Dont Stop (Funkin 4 Jamaica), the single reached the top forty in the United Kingdom and Australia. In Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden, it was released on its own and peaked outside the top forty. No remixes of the song were commissioned, though a radio edit reduces the lengthy introduction. The charity single Never Too Far/Hero Medley combines the first verse of Never Too Far with a re-recorded version of the second verse and bridge of Careys Hero (1993), and it was later released in the U.S. and charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 81. Carey was unable to film a music video for the single as she was recovering from an emotional and physical breakdown. Instead, a video was created using a scene taken directly from the film Glitter, where Billie Frank (played by Carey) sings the song at Madison Square Garden during her first sold-out concert. Franks performance of the song in the film omits its entire second verse, and the songs development runs in parallel with the films love story. - Mariah Carey Community
