"I Hope I Never" is a 1980 song by New Zealandart rock group Split Enz from their studio album True Colours. The album version of the song goes for 4:36, forty seconds longer than the single version. The song was later covered by ENZSO, a collaboration between Split Enz's Eddie Rayner and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in 1995. The cover featured New Zealand singer Annie Crummer on vocals, changing only the lyrics to refer to herself as a woman rather than a man. Australian singer and songwriter Tina Arena recorded the song in 2008 with the London Studio Orchestra for her album Songs of Love & Loss 2 and similarly changed the lyrics to reflect her gender.

"Never Have I Ever", also known as "I've Never…" or "Ten Fingers", is a drinking game.
Rules
The verbal game is started with the players getting into a circle. Then, the first player says a simple statement starting with "Never have I ever". Anyone who has done what the first player has not must drink. Play then continues around the circle, and the next person makes a statement. An additional rule – uncommon, but beneficial to the game –is that if there is no one taking a drink, then the one who said the particular "I have never…" must take a drink. This rule often forces the players to strategize more and makes for less disposable/pointless suggestions.
A further variation holds that whenever only one person is drinking, that person must give a detailed account of why they are drinking. Another variation of this game involves putting up five or ten fingers, putting one down whenever something mentioned has been done. Those who end up putting down all of their fingers must take several successive drinks.
More Adventurous is the third full-length album released by Los Angeles-based band Rilo Kiley. The album, released on August 17, 2004, marks a significant change in the band's sound with the goal of being "more adventurous" than their previous music. The effort paid off by increasing the group's audience and garnering critical praise; noted rock critic Robert Christgau, initially naming the album the fifth best release of 2004, included it in his recap of the greatest albums of the 2000-2009 decade, placing it at the twenty-fourth spot. Christgau also declared "It's a Hit" song of the year for 2004, subsequently declaring it the eighth best song of the decade. The album eventually placed at the fourteenth spot in the Pazz & Jop ballot for 2004.
Two versions of the album were released: the regular store-sold version in a normal jewel case and a limited edition digipak version (1,000 copies) sold at the album's release party and concert.
"Accidntel Deth" was produced by Jimmy Tamborello, known for his work in The Postal Service and as Dntel (which explains the unusual spelling of the title).
This is what band members Robison and Maines commented about the writing process of "I Hope":
Robison: "Kevin was one of the last writers we wrote with, and it was so nice and so comfortable working with him. With what he's been through and where he grew up, it's important to him to write positive, uplifting songs."
"I Hope" is a song recorded by British singer Rebecca Ferguson. It was released in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2013 as the lead single from her second studio album Freedom (2013).
Background
In November 2012, Ferguson said that following her US tour in early 2013, she would go back to the studio and begin writing for her second album which was aimed for a later in 2013 or 2014. Ferguson considered Freedom being stronger and edgier than its predecessor. In July 2013 she posted a series of tweets in Twitter that she is "proud" of her new album and that the "album has been hard to make." She also revealed that she had written songs about her babies. Meanwhile Ferguson had settled dispute with her former management team, Modest! Management, after branding them "vile" for not allowing her enough time off to see her children. They have "settled their outstanding legal disputes" for an undisclosed sum of money. On 10 October 2013, Rebecca announced the lead single will be "I Hope", initially scheduled to be released on 24 November, one week ahead of the album's release. The single officially premiered on 14 October 2013.
