Kevian Kraemer shares “Forever,” a poignant breakup song paired with a Rockaway Beach-shot visual.
Kevian Kraemer returns with “Forever,” an evocative indie-pop single that captures the emotional shift before a breakup. The song, out now via Atlantic Records, was written as Kraemer sensed the end of his year-and-a-half-long relationship—a prelude to heartache.
The accompanying video, filmed on Rockaway Beach, amplifies the song’s themes of reflection and unresolved emotion. In Kraemer’s words: “This song’s pretty fucked up to be honest… I felt it dying but I didn’t know who to tell.”
He adds: “I didn’t actually like who she turned into, or maybe she was really that way all along. The lyrics in this song are the words that I never told her but I wish she heard.”
Produced by SameSame (Blake Mares and Rob Cohen), whose previous work includes Portugal. The Man, Shawn Mendes, and Beyoncé, “Forever” shines with understated production that leaves space for every lyric to land.
Following the buzz around his previous release “Don’t You Dare” and the 2024 debut EP Seventeen, Kraemer’s “Attention” marked a major milestone with over 10 million global streams. The acoustic follow-up, “Attention (Stripped),” demonstrated his vocal and emotional depth.
With “Forever,” Kraemer channels growth through grief, offering something universally felt yet uniquely his.
