Lyrically, Sean opens the track talking about how he handles the pressures of his day-to-day life and the people who help him maintain his mental clarity. He keeps it blunt from the beginning, “I had to shake the little shit off.” It’s clear that getting to this point wasn’t an easy feat and Sean had to make the most of what life has thrown at him. He thanks his inner circle for inspiring his resilience over a classic The Alchemist beat. The introspection of the track is heightened with the video featuring the duo which opens with a collage of clips that resemble a film reel almost as if it was the opening of a timeless movie.

Big Sean first teased the track on social media reclaiming the narrative after some of his music had leaked online posting, “I’m a just start droppin this new music before they leak it all.” Fans clamored to hear the snippet on socials asking when they could expect the full version of the track.
 
With today’s release of “Together Forever,” Sean continues building the hype around his forthcoming sixth studio album Better Me Than You which is now available to pre-save.

About Earl Sweatshirt:

Earl Sweatshirt is the virtuosic byproduct of Los Angeles’ fertile ground where hip hop sowed its seeds and historic cultural movements were born. The prodigiously-gifted writer, lyricist and producer grew from a zeitgeist of which contemporary collectives in hip hop today are predicated. And while most movements are fleeting as soon as they arrive, Earl pushed forward, documented his growth and self-discovery on record and cemented himself as one of the foremost culturally relevant MC’s in the game, one who never strayed away too far from his Los Angeles beat-scene roots. His debut album Dorisarrived in 2013 and introduced the world to a more realized vision from him than his seminal mixtape Earl that was released three years prior when he was just 16-years-old. He followed Doris with the critically-lauded I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside in 2015, further exploring the depth of his technical dexterity with more swagger than prior releases. Three years later, he released Some Rap Songs in 2018, the tightly wrought album that found a more self-aware and mature Earl in his reflection of being in the public eye since a teenager, coupled with the reconciliation of the death of his father. Enter Feet of Clay, the conceptual 2019 project that continues the written narrative of Earl’s life in today’s societal landscape and world-view in real-time. In 2022; Earl returned to the scene with critically acclaimed, SICK! which was recorded in the wake of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns. That album saw widespread acclaim across the media landscape and featured collaborative contributions from artists and producers like Zelooperz, Nak-el Smith, Armand Hammer, Black Noi$e, and The Alchemist. Fast forward to 2023 and Earl is preparing for the 10th anniversary of Dorisand playing shows in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and London to commemorate the seminal album.
