"Forever" is a rock and roll [1] and pop song [2] with elements of doo-wop. [3] Composed as a waltz [4] that lasts for four minutes and one second, [5] the track follows 12
8 time and moves at a tempo of 63 beats per minute. [6] It is a sentimental ballad with lyrics about continued affection amidst heartbreak: [7] [8] "Forever / You will always be the only one". [9] In describing Carey's performance, Billboard said she "plays the romantic ingenue with convincing, wide-eyed innocence and infectious hope". [10] Her vocal range spans two octaves and three semitones from the low note of E♭3 to the high note of F♯5. [6]

Walter Afanasieff produced "Forever" with Carey; she wrote the lyrics herself and the pair composed the music together. He also played the keyboards, provided synth bass, and programmed the drums and rhythm electronically. Dan Shea and Gary Cirimelli added additional programming while Dann Huff played the guitars. Jay Healy and Dana Jon Chappelle engineered the song at Wallyworld and The Hit Factory in New York, where Andy Smith, Kurt Lundvall, Brian Vibberts, and Mike Scott acted as second engineers. After Mick Guzauski mixed "Forever" at New York's Sony Studios, Bob Ludwig conducted mastering at Gateway Mastering in Portland, Maine. [9]

Critics said "Forever" shared similarities with music from the 1950s [1] [4] and 1960s. [11] [12] According to biographer Chris Nickson, this is evinced by the song's chord changes and prominent guitar arpeggios. [13] In the Jackson Citizen Patriot, Chris Jorgensen judged it as a homage to the Motown sound. [12] Larry Nager of The Commercial Appeal thought the strings resembled those in the 1959 song " Theme from A Summer Place" [11] and Salvatore Caputo of The Arizona Republic said the composition was inspired by Roy Orbison's music. [14] Rick Mitchell viewed it as an "attempt at an old-fashioned R&B ballad" in the Houston Chronicle. [15]

"Forever" was related to Carey's past work. Nickson perceived similarities with songs from her 1990 debut album [13] and Billboard specified that the "retro-pop musical setting" invoked her first single " Vision of Love". [10] Writing for the same magazine, Sal Cinquemani considered the string-guitar combination a recurring musical motif in Carey's songs. [16]

Critical reception

Carey's delivery received positive commentary from music critics. Billboard contributor Princess Gabbara gauged her as capable of making an emotional impact on listeners. [8] The Post and Courier's Walter Allread complimented Carey for exercising restraint while incorporating melisma in her vocals. [17] According to Nick Krewen of The Spectator, the song helps her move "into the real world of human emotion with truly soulstirring performances". [18]

The composition of "Forever" also received warm reviews. Daina Darzin from Cash Box praised the "lush but unobtrusive orchestration serving as a respectful backdrop" to Carey's vocals. [19] Mitchell and Billboard's Andrew Unterberger viewed it as a successful interpretation of retro styles. [7] [15] Ken Tucker welcomed the waltz form in Entertainment Weekly; [20] Pitchfork writer Jamieson Cox said it shows how Carey's Daydream "performances are uniformly strong no matter the context". [4]

Others considered "Forever" an unimpressive album track. Nickson thought it "came across as something of a throwaway". [13] Cleveland.com writer Troy L. Smith said it paled in comparison with the other singles. [21] Jonathan Takiff of the Philadelphia Daily News suggested it was worse than " One Sweet Day" and " Open Arms". [22]

"Forever" has appeared on rankings of Carey's music. Smith placed it at number 55 of 76 in a 2017 list of Carey's best singles. [21] Billboard named it the 100th greatest song of Carey's career in 2020. [7] Writers for BET and Gold Derby thought it was one of her best singles that did not reach number one on the Hot 100. [23] [24]

Commercial performance

"Forever" was released as an airplay only single in the US, and received a limited European release. Due to Billboard rules at the time of its release, "Forever" wasn't eligible to chart on the Hot 100. However, the song charted on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number two. In Canada, the song peaked at number 11 on the Canadian RPM Singles Chart issue dated September 30, 1996. [25] In New Zealand, the song entered the singles chart at its peak of number 40, spending only one week in the chart. [26] On the Dutch Singles Chart, "Forever" peaked at number 47, fluctuating in the chart for a total of nine weeks. [27]

It was included on her video album, Fantasy: Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden, the next year. [28] [29] In 1996, she sang it during the Daydream World Tour. [30] Filming for the music video occurred during her March shows at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. [19] [7] The live audio was released on the single as its B-side [5] [19] and later on her 2020 compilation album The Rarities. [31] In a review for KQED, Emmanuel Hapsis ranked the video as the third-worst of Carey's career because "concert videos are so lazy." [32]
