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."
