“Forever & Always” is the eleventh track off Taylor Swift’s second studio album, Fearless.

The song was inspired by her recent break up with Joe Jonas. She described it as a song about a relationship with a man who she could feel was “slowly slipping away.”

It’s about watching somebody fade away in a relationship. They said they were going to be with you forever, that they loved you, and then something changed in the relationship and you don’t know what it is, but you’re watching them slowly drift. That emotion of rejection, for me, usually starts out sad and then gets mad. This song starts with this pretty melody that’s easy to sing along with, then in the end I’m basically screaming it because I’m so mad. I’m really proud of that.

The song talks about holding on to every moment with him, since things won’t last.

On the Platinum Editon of the album, the song was redone with a softer piano melody.
