Sad Forever

Sad Forever

Lauv

“Sad Forever” is the second single released as part of the ~how i’m feeling~ album. The song was written when he was feeling low and considering anti-depressants, despite his belief that they were an enemy to mental health. This is revealed through the album art itself:

I wrote this song at the peak of my obsessive anxiety before I decided to get on anti-depressants. If there’s one thing I learned, medication is not the enemy.

On May 22nd, 2019, Lauv announced on his socials that all proceeds from the song will be donated to organizations looking to tackle mental health issues. This announcement also revealed the release date for the song, alongside an extended snippet of the track.

The song was first previewed at his biggest headline show to date in Manila, Philippines on May 20th, 2019. Shortly after this show, Lauv tweeted the chorus as a teaser for eager fans.
