"Somewhere in Neverland" is a song by American rock band All Time Low for their fifth studio album Don't Panic (2012). Written and produced by the band's lead vocalist/guitarist Alex Gaskarth and Mike Green, the song was released through Hopeless Records as the second official single off the album on September 18, 2012. The song uses allusions to Peter Pan and the story Peter and Wendy as a metaphor for the narrator refusing to grow up.[1][2]
Tim Sendra of AllMusic labelled "Somewhere in Neverland" as a surefire radio hit and one of three "album picks" for its "sweetly desperate romanticism."[1] The iTunes review for Don't Panic cited "Somewhere in Neverland" as an "unarguably catchy" album highlight, describing it as a "salient single that chugs on power pop chords [...] before triggering a chorus peppered with more barbed hooks than a tackle box."[3] Joseph Atilano of Inquirer.net praised Gaskarth's songwriting abilities on the song as well as the catchiness of the chorus, summarizing the song as "addictive".[4]
