Never Let Me Down is the seventeenth studio album by
David Bowie, released in April 1987 by
EMI America. 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 'n' roll music. Three singles were released from the album, "
Day-In Day-Out", "
Time Will Crawl" and "
Never Let Me Down", the first two of which were top 10 hits around the world.
