It was included on the band's sixth studio album, Kick. The music was written by keyboardist Andrew Farriss, who recorded a blues-style demo; vocalist Michael Hutchence wrote the lyrics. Never Tear Us Apart is a sensuous ballad, written in the tempo of a modern Viennese waltz, layered with synthesizers and containing dramatic pauses before the instrumental breaks. Kirk Pengilly lends a cathartic saxophone solo near the end. According to the liner notes of Shine Like It Does: The Anthology (1979–1997), the song was composed on piano as a bluesy number in the style of Fats Domino. Producer Chris Thomas suggested a synth-based arrangement instead. The video for the song, featuring an extended intro, was filmed in various locations in Prague along with Guns in the Sky and New Sensation, all directed by Richard Lowenstein. The single reached No. 24 in the UK, and stayed on the charts for seven weeks. In the U.S., it reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. After his death in 1997, Michael Hutchence's coffin was carried out of St Andrews Cathedral by the remaining members of INXS and younger brother Rhett as Never Tear Us Apart was played in the background. In February 2014, after the Channel 7 screening of INXS: Never Tear Us Apart mini-series, Never Tear Us Apart charted again in Australia via download sales. It peaked at No. 11 on the ARIA Singles Chart, surpassing its original peak position of No. 14 back in 1988. In January 2018, as part of Triple M's "Ozzest 100", the 'most Australian' songs of all time, Never Tear Us Apart was ranked No. 18. Ever since March 2014, Australian Football League club Port Adelaide has adopted Never Tear Us Apart as the club's unofficial anthem leading up to the opening bounce at its new home of Adelaide Oval. It is a reference to the various and unique difficulties the club faced when trying to enter the AFL. Initially the song was introduced to coincide with the 60-second countdown before the start of a match, with the music playing over the top of a video montage. The song proved to be a success amongst the fans, with the fans adopting the song, as well as raising scarves above their heads as the song was being sung. So successful was the song that by June 2014, the club were forced to print club colored scarves with the words Never Tear Us Apart on them that fans would hold aloft and sing in unison prior to the start of matches.
