Forever and for Always
"Forever and for Always" is a song by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. The song was released as the fourth single from her fourth studio album Up! (2002), on April 7, 2003; it was also the third to be sent to country radio. The song was written by her then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Twain. The song is about two people who fall in love as children and are still with each other even as they grow older. "Forever and for Always" was certified gold for 500,000 digital downloads by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2006.
The song received positive reviews, with some reviewers comparing it to her 1998 single "You're Still the One". The song was the best performing single from Up! on country radio, peaking at number four on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, and was also a number-one hit on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song peaked within the top ten in six countries and peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. "Forever and for Always" was later nominated at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
The music video for "Forever and for Always" premiered on April 26, 2003, to Country Music Television, which portrayed a couple throughout their life as children, teens, and elders. The video later won the 2004 CMT Flameworthy Video Awards for Female Video of the Year. Twain performed the song on the Up! Tour, her Let's Go! residency, Queen of Me Tour, and her Come On Over residency, while elements of the song were include in a video interlude for "The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)" on the Now Tour. The song was later named Song of the Year at both the 2004 BMI Country Songwriter Awards and 2004 European BMI Awards.
Twain said there is something inspirational to her about people who start relationships when they are kids, and are still in love when they are older. Twain really enjoyed doing the video for the song, because she was able to realize that visually. She said it is one of her favorite songs.
In December 2019, during the Let's Go! residency in Las Vegas, Twain revealed for the first time that the song had been recorded by her friend Prince, but that his version was never released and instead remained part of his private collection. The performance was Twain's first of "Forever And For Always" in over 15 years and was dedicated to the late singer.
"Forever and for Always" is performed in the key of G♭ major in 2
2 time following a chord progression of G♭–G♭2–C♭–D♭, and Twain's vocals span from G♭3 to E♭5. The song moves at a tempo of 86 beats per minute.
The music video for "Forever and for Always" was shot at Bethells Beach in New Zealand in March 2003. It was directed by Paul Boyd, who shot her "When You Kiss Me" video around the same time also in New Zealand. It debuted on Country Music Television (CMT) on April 26, 2003. The video shows two children at the beach together, then it shows them as teens, and eventually seniors, visualizing the theme of the song of staying together forever. Scenes of Twain at the beach are intercut throughout the video. The video was released with both the 'red' and 'green' versions, with each also having an 'all performance' video of only Twain at the beach. The video released a 'blue' version internationally as well. The video won the Female Video of the Year Award at the 2004 CMT Flameworthy Awards, and was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2003 Canadian Country Music Awards, but lost to another song by Twain, "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!". The video is available on select singles, and the DVD-Audio version of Up!.
Billboard magazine contrasted the song against the previous two singles, saying it "relies less on cutesy gimmicks (and exclamation marks) and focuses thematically on steadfast love," while comparing it to Shania's earlier singles "From This Moment On" and "You're Still the One". About.com ranked the song 95th for the top 100 pop songs of 2003.
