I got it by searching "Band Perry live forever" in the search bar.

Got it!!! It is legit. The perfect mix of country with pop leanings to get that crossover play!

I like it! I'm sure it will continue to grow on me as well. This definitely has pop elements, but it also has a distinct country melody IMO.

Blindly bought this and I am not disappointed. I love it! Definitely hope to hear it on Pop and HAC in the future. Veryyyyyy catchy. It was in my head after the first listen.

I really like this actually. It's a nice blend of pop and country. The only other song I have been totally able to get into by them was "Done." (which was amazing), so this'll be a nice second one for me.

This is phenomenally blended. It really has the best of both Country and Pop elements. I love the aesthetic of this era, I love this song. I'm ecstatic for the new album this fall.
I have no doubt that this one will go Top 5, at least.

Extremely impressed with this. This is much better than I was expecting. I was so skeptical, but everything blends so perfectly here.

Wow.... soooooooooo good! Everything about it! It's hands down the most instantly catchy country song since Cruise... And probably even more so. Damn, this is gonna be HUGE across the board.

They sound like they actually went back in time and got younger on this, it almost seems like a Radio Disney song. It's not bad, but it sure as hell ain't as good as "Don't Let Me Be Lonely", "Gentle On My Mind", or "Better Dig Too". I'm sure country radio will play this, but this belongs on radio stations that play One Direction and Selena Gomez, not ones that play Eric Church and Miranda Lambert. Consider me disappointed (even though I don't HATE the song). I just expect better from this band, they don't need to stoop too Pop radio fluff IMO.

Not bad. Still a bit too poppy for me, but it's way better than I anticipated, and is by no means poor.

Def add a cool factor to country. Great song- which is where it all begins!!

LOVE IT! It's perfect... A very nice blend, but definitely a country song at heart. Well done!

Better than I expected...definitely not "pop."
However, I'm going to miss the old The Band Perry.

I don't dislike it and wouldn't change the channel, but doesn't bring back thoughts of how good they were on album #1. Is that a crowd roar in the background during the chorus? That seems a bit contrived, but maybe I am mistaking some other electronic element that isn't supposed to be a 'crowd roar' of approval. I'm thinking it will cross over with no problem, and also be a hit on country radio

Very disappointed. Not my style... at all! Sorry for such an extreme departure from their original sound.

I can't stop singing the chorus of Jessie J's "Masterpiece" over the first part of Live Forever's chorus.

On a completely superficial note, what a difference a simple pulled-back hairstyle makes... Reid looks like another person.

Sad that TBP decided to go where Taylor Swift went with this song. Nothing really country about it at all.
I guess Scott Borshetta wants everyone to go pop or whatever because that's where the money is.

Yeah, I didn't like the idea of TBP going pop at first, but then I realized... Great music is great music! The song puts me in a great mood and that's all that matters. I wish people could just sit back and enjoy the music.

Can't wait to listen on my way to work in the car... I feel like this could be a massive smash! I can see it being a huge graduation song next Spring. I'm loving this! This is exactly what I was hoping for.

LOVE this. LOVE LOVE. It's a perfect blend of Country and Pop. It also has such a huge crossover appeal like Cruise did. I'm going to bet that this will be HUGE.

I understand an artist's perpetual desire to find the new and exciting for their sound. But if someone like George Strait can have an impressive 27 albums without feeling the need to make "pop" songs in order to avoid retread, then surely The Band Perry can after 2 CDs. I just can't get into this. Just another forgettable sing-along that will get far less recurrent play than some of their other wonderful songs.
I see shockingly little difference between a song like this and a song like Rachel Platten's "Fight Song."
The sad truth about pop music is that the song is the marketable package and an artist is just a vehicle of delivery. Doesn't matter which vehicle you pick; the end result is typically the same.
