'Never Let Me Down' is the 17th studio album by David Bowie. Bowie conceived the album as the foundation for a theatrical world tour, writing and recording most of the songs in Switzerland. He considered the record a return to rock and roll music. Three singles were released from the album, 'Day-In-Day-Out', 'Time Will Crawl' and 'Never Let Me Down', which all reached the UK Top 40.
