"Forever" was KISS's first American Top Ten single since 1976's "Beth"
"Forever" is a KISS song from the Hot in the Shade album. It peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the band's highest-charting single since "Beth" reached #7 in 1976. It was the band's seventh and, to date, last Top 20 US single. The song was co-written by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley and American pop singer/songwriter Michael Bolton, who was then at the peak of his commercial popularity.
"Forever" was released as a music video that received heavy airplay on MTV. It is perhaps the most understated video KISS has released, as it showed the band (then consisting of Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr) playing the song in an empty room.
Despite the success of "Forever," Hot in the Shade became the first KISS album to fail to reach platinum status since 1982's Creatures of the Night.
