"Forever" (Korean: 약속; RR: Yaksok; lit. Promise) is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Aespa. Originally released as the group's second digital single on February 5, 2021, by SM Entertainment, it was later included on the group's second extended play Girls, released on July 8, 2022. A remake of the song of the same name by Yoo Young-jin as a part of SM's holiday album Winter Vacation in SMTown.com in 2000, "Forever" is a mid-tempo R&B ballad with an acoustic guitar sound and warm lyrics about promising forever to a loved one.
An accompanying music video for the song was published simultaneously with the single's release. The winter-inspired video follows Aespa in a winter wonderland in a snow globe with snow falling outside. The song debuted at number eleven on the US World Digital Song Sales chart, becoming their second entry overall and received generally favorable reviews from music critics.
