"Forever" is a Kiss song from the Hot in the Shade album. It peaked at number 8[1] on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the band's first American Top 40 single since "I Was Made for Lovin' You" reached number 11 in 1979. It was the band's seventh and, to date, last Top 20 US single. It also reached number 17[1] on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song was co-written by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley and American singer/songwriter Michael Bolton, who was then at the peak of his commercial popularity, and with whom guitarist Bruce Kulick had played previous to Kiss.
Musically, "Forever" is a power ballad. It begins with Stanley singing over an acoustic guitar intro, with the full band coming in for the first refrain.
"Forever" was released as a music video that received heavy airplay on MTV, attaining the #1 position on the video channel's "Most Requested Videos" show several times. It is perhaps the most understated video Kiss has released, as it showed the band (then consisting of Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr) playing the song in an empty room.
Despite the success of "Forever", Hot in the Shade became the first Kiss album to fail to be certified platinum by the RIAA since 1982's Creatures of the Night.

Forever (Drake song)
"Forever" is a single by rappers Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. The song is released as a single from the soundtrack to LeBron James's More Than a Game documentary. The song was also placed on the re-release of Eminem's album Relapse, entitled Relapse: Refill. Eminem performed his verse of the song at the American Music Awards of 2009. Drake performed the song with Lil Wayne, Eminem and Travis Barker at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
Background
The track was produced by Boi-1da and originally used by Kardinal Offishall featuring Rock City in early 2008, as "Bring It Back". Kardinal did not use the song for his album and it was later re-sold to Drake, who released it in late 2008 as "I Want This Forever" featuring Lil Wayne and Nut da Kidd. In an interview, Kardinal stated that his version was a leaked demo which was supposed to appear on his album, Not 4 Sale, as well as a soundtrack. The 2009 version of "Forever" features Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. Rapper Jay-Z called it the best posse cut of the year. The song title is derived from the last line of the chorus; I want this shit forever mine.
Frail Words Collapse
Frail Words Collapse is the second studio album by American metalcore band As I Lay Dying. The album is their first release on the record label Metal Blade Records.
