Forever (Kid Rock song)


"Forever" was the first single released from Kid Rock's 2001 album Cocky. The song was a message to critics who had panned his music. Kid Rock stated that, despite what they thought, his formula of hip hop, southern rock and punk rock would last forever. The song name checks Oprah Winfrey, Al Roker, Earl the Pearl and Betsy Ross and also references the song "Hit the Road, Jack".
The song peaked at number 18 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and number 21 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Internationally, it reached number 27 in Australia, number 52 in Germany and number 75 in Switzerland. "I'm a Dog," Cocky's 10th track, was released along with "Forever" on the single. The music video, released in October 2001, features Pamela Anderson.
When the song is performed during concerts, the vocals are played over an instrumental version of "Tom Sawyer" by Rush.
