"Forever and for Always" is a song by Canadian country music singer Shania Twain. The song was released as the fourth single from her fourth studio album Up! (2002), on April 7, 2003; it was also the third to be sent to country radio. The song was written by her then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Twain. The song is about two people who fall in love as children and are still with each other even as they grow older. "Forever and for Always" was certified gold for 500,000 digital downloads by the RIAA in 2006.[2]
The song received positive reviews, with some reviewers comparing it to her 1998 single "You're Still the One". The song was the best performing single from Up! on country radio, peaking at number four on the Hot Country Songs chart, and was also a number-one hit on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song peaked within the top ten in six countries and peaked at number twenty on the Billboard Hot 100. "Forever and for Always" was later nominated at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
The music video for "Forever and for Always" premiered on April 26, 2003 to Country Music Television, which portrayed a couple throughout their life as children, teens, and elders. The video later won the 2004 CMT Flameworthy Video Awards for Female Video of the Year. Twain performed the song on the Up! Tour, her Let's Go! residency, Queen of Me Tour, and her Come On Over residency, while elements of the song were include in a video interlude for "The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You)" on the Now Tour. The song was later named Song of the Year at both the 2004 BMI Country Songwriter Awards and 2004 European BMI Awards.[3]
