"Forever Yours (Tribute)" is a song by Norwegian DJ Kygo, Swedish DJ Avicii and Swedish singer and songwriter Sandro Cavazza. The song was released on 24 January 2020.[1] The song was written by Sting, Jan Kask, Dominic Miller, Tim Bergling, Sebastian Furrer, Kygo, Sandro Cavazza and Marcus Thunberg Wessel. On February 14, 2025, an alternate version titled "Tim's 2016 Ibiza Version" was released.[2] This version does not credit Kygo as an artist, only in the credits, as this was not a version he worked on.
Forever Yours is originally a song that Avicii started working on in Malibu in March 2016 after Sandro showed him his demo. At the time, Avicii was taking a roadtrip from Los Angeles to Miami to work on new music that he would premiere at Ultra Music Festival that year. Forever Yours was one of several songs worked on during this trip.[citation needed] Later in 2016 Avicii played another version of the track at his Ushuaia closing set.[3] However, Avicii could not release a final version of the song before his death. Norwegian DJ Kygo and Swedish singer and songwriter Sandro Cavazza reproduced the song for official release. Although the entire production was remade from scratch, Cavazza and Kygo took the liberty to use Avicii's chords from the well known UMF 2016 version. Cavazza and Kygo's version was performed at the December 2019 Avicii tribute concert.[4] Cavazza previously featured on Avicii's 2017 single "Without You" and featured on two songs from Avicii's 2015 album Stories, "Gonna Love Ya" and "Sunset Jesus". Sting and Dominic Miller are also credited as "Forever Yours" samples Sting's song "Shape of My Heart".[5]
