Some artistic combinations are simply written in the stars, and they don’t lie when they pair visionaries. After taking us to the moon back in 2009, Kid Cudi is returning to orbit, this time with Dom Dolla steering the spaceship.
The duo today released “Forever,” one of the year’s biggest dance music collaborations. If “Day ‘n’ Nite” was the soundtrack to stargazing alone, “Forever” is the euphoric sound of dancing in zero gravity. Dolla’s club sensibility meets Cudi’s existential cool, and together they find the sweet spot where real anthems live.
“We’d never worked together before, but somehow we knew this one would be special,” the pair said.

What elevates “Forever” beyond mere dancefloor utility is its emotional intelligence. Cudi and Dolla’s stated intention, crafting something that “takes you to a happier time and place,” reads initially as standard artist commentary, but the execution reveals deeper ambition. The desire to freeze perfect, ephemeral moments pulses behind every lyric.
Beneath the surface lies a genuine yearning for permanence, a sentiment that resonates powerfully after years of collective isolation and uncertainty. Euphoric synth swells flutter atop a pumping house beat, mirroring how fleeting moments of bliss punctuate our everyday existence, even when it seems mundane.
This tension between impermanence and eternity gives “Forever” its narrative depth. The track becomes a meditation on time itself, capturing how dancefloors have always served as escapist autonomous zones where time stands still and worries deplete along with sweat glands.
