Background
Brownlee stated "Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere is about that bold first move in introducing yourself to someone new. For many this is a nerve racking experience, but in order for any relationship to happen there must first be a beginning. This is that initial step into what could potentially be a lifelong love. For me, these past few months have been a time of heavy goodbye’s, but I know all endings are necessary in order to usher in new beginnings. This song is about taking a chance and not looking back. Right now, that is the very credence of this next chapter in my life."[4]
