Background

On January 24, 2019, Londra through his official Instagram account announced the release of the song.[2] On January 30, he posted the cover of the single and confirmed that it would be released on February 13.[3] That same day, he uploaded a preview of what would be the music video to his official YouTube channel.[4]

Lyrics and composition

"Forever Alone" is three minutes and 35 seconds long and it is a completely latin trap track.[5] Ovy On The Drums produced the song and provided recording engineering.[6]

In the song, Londra refers to single guys who enjoy good times with friends.[7] The song is regarded as an anti-Valentine's Day anthem because its message is about spending the celebration away from romantic letters and the bouquets of flowers, that's why their launch was a day before February 14.[8][9] "Forever Alone" it alludes to the internet meme of the black and white drawing that has the face in the shape of a potato, which shows an afflicted and tearful expression, which is often used to represent situations where the person pretends to be isolated and alone.[10]

Live performance

On February 23, 2019, Londra performed the song for the first time live in the city of Mendoza at the Civic Park, where he sang before more than 70 thousand people, within the framework of the City of Encounters Festival.[11] On March 31 of that year, as part of Lollapalooza Argentina, Paulo performed the remix of the single with Steve Aoki, who was also part of the line-up of the festival.[12]
