Kevian Kraemer drops “Forever,” a confessional new track with lyrics left unsaid—until now.
With “Forever,” 18-year-old Kevian Kraemer puts everything on the table. Released today via Atlantic Records, the single is a quiet storm of emotion—written just before the end of a long relationship that shaped his teen years.
“This song’s pretty fucked up to be honest,” Kraemer admits. “I felt it dying but didn’t know who to tell.” He continues: “We grew up together from 16 to 18… I didn’t actually like who she turned into, or maybe she was really that way all along.”
The lyrics are the closure he never delivered in real time. Now, they’re part of a story he’s choosing to tell through music.
The visual, filmed on Rockaway Beach, complements the mood with a minimal, contemplative aesthetic. The production by SameSame (credits: Rihanna, Young the Giant, Cage the Elephant) underscores the song’s emotional clarity.
Earlier this year, Kraemer dropped “Don’t You Dare” to strong fan response and released his debut EP Seventeen, home to the streaming success “Attention,” now past 10 million streams.
Kraemer’s ability to turn heartbreak into artistry has quickly made him a standout. “Forever” continues that thread—quietly devastating, beautifully real.
