Phew... now that palaver's out the way, we can discuss the actual song. To put it bluntly, '4ever' is an absolute smash. To put it more precisely, it's a pop-rock stomper with a killer guitar riff, lyrics about seizing the moment and a massive chorus that actually warrants the description "anthemic". When a tune's this good, does it really matter that it sounds a bit like another one?

I like it not as much as Untouched.
Forgot to star it
It's completely unoriginal and not as good as Untouched, but for some reason I still really like it!
Very good song, catchy and the lyrics are meaningful. Hopefully, this'll gain a higher spot in the Top 40 than Untouched did!

EXCELLENT follow up to untouched, hope this does well. There next one is just as good, it called EVERYTHING IM NOT. anyways incredible song, in my top 20 of this year. Great beat, catchy verses and chrous. Defiante for top 10, if not top 5, or even number 1. CLASS TUNE.

I LOVE THIS SONG! Go girls!
it was hard at first to get the similarities with U & Ur Hand out of my mind, because we've all heard that song before, and that did make 4Ever sound a bit like a lesser version of it, but given a few plays it comes into it's own. a strong follow-up to Untouched, which spent 5 weeks in the top 10 a few months back. the girls did a great acoustic version of 4Ever in the Live Lounge on Radio 1 on monday, and a nice cover of Muse's Uprising. i'm liking what i'm hearing from them!
great song...i like it better than U + Ur Hand but i still like it!i love the veronicas!
I'm generally not into the whole pop-punk thing, but this is good! Not as good as Untouched though, but still pretty good. For some reason I can't imagine this doing great. It hasn't got an awful lot of airplay. But I still hope maybe a Top 20 for this! :)
Love it. But it kinda sounds like a lot of other songs, not as original and unusual as Untouched.
Fair play, this is going to be HUGE. It's lasted 4 years and still sounds amazing. The similarities to U + Ur Hand will soon disappear and The Veronicas will once again storm the charts. You can't help but love this song. It's got everything a chart topper needs. Catchy lyrics, huge chorus, a message thats meaningful. If this fails, the UK certainly has no taste in music.
