Fourever
Fourever (2024) is DAY6's first release as four after military service, opening with a promise to the audience in Welcome to the Show. It moves from the plain question of whether it is all right to be happy to love as a source of courage, and ends on a break-up understood too late. The words cover vows and stages, holding out through hard days, lingering attachment and the awkward things we only recognise afterwards.
