Singer Ciara and rapper Lil Baby have come together to release a touching new single titled “Forever.” The track, produced by Jaydot, Precision Productions, and Theron Thomas, provides a glimpse into Ciara’s nearly decade-long marriage to NFL quarterback Russell Wilson.
In a world where public scrutiny and trolling can impact relationships, Ciara and Russell Wilson have managed to rise above it all and continue to expand their family, now with their third child on the way. This resilience serves as the inspiration for the song’s opening verse, where Ciara sings about the challenges they’ve faced:
“Everyone’s hatin’, goin’ half on a baby / They think that I’m crazy / ‘Cause one night only can be enough / Some say I’m hatin’ because I be sayin’, ‘Love is amazin’ / I know I’m not the only one / Hold on, I want a real world together / If I’m trippin’, let me know / One plus another is better, babe / You spendin’ all your time alone.”

Lil Baby, known for his emotional and heartfelt verses, joins in with a rap that reflects on his own romantic journey:
“You ain’t gotta rush, it’s fine, baby / I’m the one you take your time with / Keep it for me, you gotta try sh*t / Made a bond, we gotta die with it / Head first, I done dived in / You the one, well, really you a ten / I know my mind like here she go again / We ain’t gotta standout, we could blend in / And I’ll make sure to give you my attention.”
The accompanying music video, directed by Taj and Dre, centers around a glamorous wedding where Ciara and Lil Baby encourage their friends to embrace love and the idea of a happily ever after.
“Forever” is a heartfelt ode to enduring love and the journey it takes to find and maintain it. The song showcases Ciara’s soulful vocals and Lil Baby’s introspective rap style, making it a captivating and touching collaboration.
