"4ever" is a pop rock song written by Max Martin and Lukasz Gottwald. The song was first recorded by The Veronicas as the first song released from their debut album The Secret Life Of.... It was released as a single in Australia in August 2005 and reached number two on the ARIA Charts and number seven in New Zealand.
In the U.S., the single was promoted early in 2006 by Archie Comics through a mention in issue #167 of the group's namesake Veronica's comic, which featured a guest appearance and cover picture of The Veronicas and a card containing a code that could be used to download an MP3 version of the song free.
The song's music video won the award for best video of the year at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards. [1] In addition, it was featured in the Amanda Bynes comedy film She's the Man; the song is heard during the film itself and its advertisements, and is included in the official soundtrack.
The song has been noted as sounding very similar to P!nk's U + Ur Hand, the choruses in particular, which was released about one year after 4ever. Both songs were written by Luke Gottwald and Max Martin.

[edit] Music Videos
4ever featured two music videos as they thought different videos would suit different audiences in those countries better. The Australian/New Zealand music video version of 4ever contained The Veronicas breaking into a swimming centre and having a party with lots of other people. The American music video had The Veronicas singing in a hotel, hanging out in a bathroom writing on the mirror with lipstick and riding around in a car.
