Writing and Development
"4ever" was written and produced by Lukasz Gottwald and Max Martin. In an interview with Digitalspy.co.uk Lisa described the idea behind the song. She said,
"I think it's just a really fun song. It's got a great guitar riff and the message behind it isn't anything too heavy. It's about living life for the moment, forgetting about your worries and just getting up and dancing. Plus it's a bit bratty, which we like!"
The original version of the song was recorded in 2005. In 2009 they re-recorded the song to release in the UK and Ireland as their second single. In the press release Jess described the new sound of the 2009 version. She said,
"Since recording `4ever,` the band has progressed, so we wanted to update the song,We recorded more guitars and new vocals to bring the song up to how it sounds when we perform it live."

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or development:
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager, at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict between autonomy and security.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
