"Always Forever" is a song by American singer Bryson Tiller, released on September 21, 2020, as the second single from his third studio album, Anniversary. The song sees Tiller lamenting about a lost love whose feelings are not reciprocated.

Composition and lyrics

Over "smoothed-out" production^[4] and his signature trap-infused drums,^[5] Tiller details a one-sided love, coming to terms with "forever" not being for always, because he and his lovers' emotions are worlds apart,^[6] due to trust issues and dishonesty.^[5] Although he seems ready to move on, he finds it difficult to do so as easily as his partner did.^[6]

Critical reception

Aaron Williams of Uproxx said the slow song allows Tiller to show off his vocals more than his bars.^[7] Ayana Rashed of Respect said Tiller's "mesmerizing vocals" are on full display, "reminding fans of his signature style that they've come to know and love".^[2]

Cover artwork

The song's cover art is a vintage-type photo of Tiller in all-white. HotNewHipHop's Alex Zidel noted the cover is "fairly simple, embracing the modesty of his music and sound".^[8]
