Global superstar Tems continues to redefine the boundaries of Afro-soul with her captivating track “Forever.” Originally released as a standout gem on her debut studio album, Born in the Wild, the song has experienced a massive resurgence in 2025, becoming a staple for fans seeking emotional depth and vocal excellence. Produced by the talented DAMEDAME and GuiltyBeatz, “Forever” showcases Tems’ unique ability to blend haunting melodies with raw, relatable lyrics, solidifying her place as the leading voice of the “Alte” movement.

​The song is a masterclass in songwriting, where Tems explores themes of self-realization and moving on from the “desperation” of past relationships. Unlike her upbeat hit “Love Me JeJe,” “Forever” leans into a mid-tempo, funky groove that some fans have likened to a Michael Jackson-inspired rhythm. With lyrics like “I’m a hot stepper, stormin’ through the weather,” she portrays a woman who has found her strength and won’t be held back. For those looking for Tems 2025 new songs download, this track remains a top-tier choice for its timeless production and soulful resonance.


Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

[Verse 1]

I’m a hot stepper

Stormin’ through the weather, weather

High pressure (pressure)

I’m movin’ like a dancer, dancer (dancer)

Challenger and still, I do it better

The feeling is forever

 

[Pre-Chorus]

And every time I’m up to somethin’ new

Got you feelin’ black and blue

Got you checkin’ for the news

Breaking news

Now you wanna take it out on me

Don’t you want to set me free?

Don’t you want to let me breathe?

 

[Chorus]

It’s the desperation, for me

From you, oh, baby

You know it’s the desperation, for me

For me, darling

 

[Verse 2]

I want the secret to your loving

Covered in diamonds and your passion

I love the way you lookin’ at me

Baby, I want, want you beggin’

 

[Chorus]

It’s the desperation, for me (Desperate, desperate, desperate, desperate)

From you, oh, baby (Desperate, desperate, desperate, desperate)

You know it’s the desperation, for me (Desperate, desperate, desperate, desperate)

For me, darling (Desperate, desperate, desperate, desperate)

It’s a desperation

 

[Bridge]

I got it, you want it

I can’t be your

I got it, you want it

I won’t stay down

I got it, you want it

Could be yours

I know I got it and you want it

I can’t stay

 

I’m not talkin’ to you, ooh, ooh, ooh (I can’t stay forever)

I’m not talkin’ to you, ooh, ooh, ooh (I can’t stay forever)

I’m not talkin’ to you, ooh, ooh, ooh (I can’t stay forever)

I’m not talkin’ to you, ooh, ooh, ooh (I can’t stay forever)

Let me breathe (I can’t stay forever)

I’m not talkin’ to you, ooh, ooh, ooh (I can’t stay forever)

Let me breathe (I can’t stay forever)

Let me breathe, let me breathe (I can’t stay forever)
