Forever in a Moment

## Single by Cat Venti

"**Forever in a Moment**" is the debut standalone single by Italian-American actress and pop singer Cat Venti. It was released on May 29, 2015, and was later included in the track list for the 2016 soundtrack album, *Triumphant: OST*.

## Background and composition

Following her signing to Red Rose Records, Venti was scheduled a joint studio session with Aurora in the hopes of highlighting her inner pop superstar. Aurora once again attempted to capture the American teenage experience akin to her own 2015 single "Remember When", however Venti allegedly offered very little assistance on this matter.

"Most of my sessions with co-writers have been an absolute pleasure," Aurora smiled when questioned about her collaborative process during a 2021 interview in promotion of her re-recorded albums, "while others were entirely uninterested in the songwriting process," Aurora admitted bluntly. While it has never been confirmed that this statement was in relation to Venti, her lack of co-writing credit on the track has aided widespread fan speculation.

"Forever in a Moment" is composed as a bubblegum pop and dance-pop song. Inspired by summer break, Aurora aimed to channel the experience of a summer fling, and making the most of each and every moment. Lyrically, the track utilises wordplay to convey the playfulness of the fleeting love affair, while its chant-like bridge reinforces the casual, unserious nature of their temporary relationship. "It's just a cute summer bop," Venti said of the song.

## Aurora version

Following her split from Red Rose Records in 2020, a version of "Forever in a Moment" was re-recorded by Aurora as a bonus track for her album *Silhouettes: Deluxe* (2021).

Aurora's version features a stripped back, acoustic arrangement, turning the track into an easy listening summer jam. It appears as the fourteenth and final track on the re-recorded album as "Forever in a Moment" (Acoustic).

## Critical reception

"Forever in a Moment" was met with mixed reviews, with some critics considering it a generic summer pop anthem.

It received a rating of 7.26 by Platvian music critics.

## Commercial performance

"Forever in a Moment" debuted and peaked at #12 on the Platvia HitList chart dated June 9, 2015. It became Aurora's lowest chart peak at the time.

## Lyrics

I think I'm ready for a vacation
And you feel like a summer breeze
I think I'm after some inspiration
And you look like a masterpiece
I really want to get a bit closer
But you're hot like a burning flame
I really need to keep my composure
But you're just messing with my brain
**Pre-Chorus**
You've got me killing every second
'Cause I want to be your number one
You've got me living for the present
'Cause our future's only just begun
**Chorus**
So just forget your inhibitions
And let them rest until the sunrise
Till then we'll live with our decisions
And lose our minds until the daylight
Why not just let go of resistance?
We've only got one night to own it
'Cause when we're living for existence
It's like forever in a moment
**Second Verse**
I find myself writing down your number
Before I even know your name
But really there is no need to wonder
When life is just a numbers game
Our lips were destined to be together
Like constellations in the sky
Just hope that tomorrow I'll remember
I swear I've never been so high
**Pre-Chorus**
You've got me killing every second
'Cause I want to be your number one
You've got me living for the present
'Cause our future's only just begun
**Chorus**
So just forget your inhibitions
And let them rest until the sunrise
Till then we'll live with our decisions
And lose our minds until the daylight
Why not just let go of resistance?
We've only got one night to own it
'Cause when we're living for existence
It's like forever in a moment
**Bridge**
We're locking fingertips
We're locking lips on lips
We're locking all the doors
Tonight, tonight
We're locking fingertips
We're locking lips on lips
We're locking all the doors
Tonight, tonight
**Chorus**
So just forget your inhibitions
And let them rest until the sunrise
Till then we'll live with our decisions
And lose our minds until the daylight
Why not just let go of resistance?
We've only got one night to own it
'Cause when we're living for existence
It's like forever in a moment
