"Forever" is a song written by Mark Topham and Karl Twigg, and recorded by British singer Tina Cousins. It was released on 28 June 1999 as the fifth single from her debut album, Killing Time. In Australia, it became a top-20 hit and was awarded a gold sales certification.

The single was originally announced as reaching number 45 in the UK Singles Chart; however, a technical error at the time meant sales from two major British music stores (Virgin Megastores and Our Price) were not counted,[2] causing a new chart to be compiled. On the corrected chart, the single reached a higher peak of number 38.
