“Forever Only (One and Only)” continues the story that began with Love Risk (Interlude) — a reflection on vulnerability, growth, and the balance between love and purpose. In Love Risk (Interlude), J 2 5 explored the hesitation that comes after heartbreak — the fear of giving your all again. Forever Only (One and Only) moves forward from that space, embracing the idea of loving freely and unconditionally, even when it means letting go. It’s about understanding that love doesn’t always have to end in possession; sometimes, true love is allowing someone — and yourself — to keep growing.

This track also showcases a new side of J 2 5, using a different resonance in his voice that brings a warmer, more soulful tone without straying from his signature depth. It’s a slightly different sound — experimental yet authentic — reflecting his continual evolution as an artist. While it steps outside the familiar, it still carries the emotion, truth, and vulnerability that define his music.
