Kevian Kraemer shares “Forever,” a raw, emotional indie-pop track inspired by real heartbreak.
Breakout indie pop artist Kevian Kraemer returns with “Forever”—a deeply personal single out now via Atlantic Records. Written just before the end of a year-and-a-half-long relationship, the 18-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer captures the vulnerability of heartbreak you can feel coming but can’t avoid.
Shot on New York’s Rockaway Beach, the official visual mirrors the track’s emotional weight, pairing haunting coastal scenes with Kraemer’s candid storytelling. Reflecting on the moment, Kraemer shares: “This song’s pretty fucked up to be honest. I wrote this song a month before my relationship of a year and a half ended because I felt it dying but I didn’t know who to tell.”
He continues: “This girl and I grew up together from 16 to 18… with that said I didn’t actually like who she turned into, or maybe she was really that way all along. I don’t know. The lyrics in this song are the words that I never told her but I wish she heard.”
Produced by SameSame (Blake Mares and Rob Cohen), known for their work with Beyoncé, Portugal. The Man, Rihanna, and Shawn Mendes, “Forever” showcases Kraemer’s sonic and emotional growth.
Following a strong 2024—including fan-favorite “Don’t You Dare”, the introspective “Dopamine”, and debut EP Seventeen—Kraemer has amassed millions of streams with his breakout hit “Attention.”
With “Forever,” Kraemer proves he’s just getting started—bringing honest storytelling to the forefront of indie pop.
