Turns out that "Forever After All" has a sweet story behind it, as Luke Combs wrote it as a love song dedicated to his wife Nicole Hocking, whom he tied the knot with in August 2020 (via Taste of Country). In a recent interview with The Country Daily, the country singer revealed that he was inspired to write the song after he and his new wife moved into their new home in Tennessee.
"'Forever After All' doesn't happen without my wife, Nicole," He told Billboard in November 2020. "This song is the next chapter in our story, but it's awesome to see so many people are able to connect in the same way I feel about her in their own lives. And, it will always mean a lot to us because it's the first song I wrote in our home together, but even more so now with the reaction from the fans."
Taking a closer look at the song's lyrics, it's clear that "Forever After All" is about an enduring, permanent love. "They say nothing lasts forever / But they ain't seen us together," he sings in the chorus (via Genius). "A love like that makes a man have second thoughts / Maybe some things last forever after all." Talk about romantic!
After hearing about the real-life inspiration behind the tune, we won't be surprised if "Forever After All" makes it on the list of this year's best love songs.
