"Never Been Any Reason" is the first track on Head East's debut album Flat as a Pancake, composed by the band's guitarist, Mike Somerville. It is often considered Head East's signature song, peaking at #68 on the Hot 100, and continues to be played on classic rock radio stations in the US a generation after it was recorded. It is noted for Roger Boyd's synthesizer solos throughout the song. Lead vocals are alternated between drummer Steve Huston singing the first two lines of the verses and lead vocalist John Schlitt on the remainder of the song. Both the last line of each verse and the choruses feature signature multi-part vocal harmonies sung by all the members of the band.

The song was featured in the 1993 film Dazed and Confused, and later in Sahara (2005 film).
