That song isn't just background noise; it's the defiant anthem of Night City—the promise that even a mercenary outlaw like V can leave a permanent mark. In a world where Arasaka and Militech rule everything, the only true immortality is the legend you leave behind, much like Johnny Silverhand himself.

What Does 'Never Fade Away' Mean for V?
The track is intrinsically linked to the Relic and V's struggle against oblivion. This anniversary special reinforces the narrative depth that CD Projekt RED built into Night City. It’s a nod to the dedicated fans who understand that every gig, every shard, and every piece of cyberware contributes to a story that, ultimately, never fades away.
