The song is used in almost 200,000 videos on Tik Tok. Black now has over 200,000 followers on Tik Tok himself.
“Always & Forever” is also about heartbreak, and is a follow up to “(I Hope You) Miss Me.” It dropped on April 2, 2021.
“The whole song is based off of me walking in on someone I called a best friend-even a brother-sleeping with my ex-girl. Me and my girl was going through a rough time and he knew how it affected me so he was helping me get through it, just to find out he was playing both sides all along. It hurt to lose them both the way I did,” said Black.
On his Spotify about page, Black says he had a turbulent childhood, with him growing up on welfare in a drug-heavy community. He states that this background drives his love and dedication to music. He started recording his own music at 15, and dropped out of school at 18. After he chose to leave school, he began devoting himself to his music.
