"Forever Alone" is three minutes and 35 seconds long and it is a completely latin trap track.^[5] Ovy On The Drums produced the song and provided recording engineering.^[6]

In the song, Londra refers to single guys who enjoy good times with friends.^[7] The song is regarded as an anti-Valentine's Day anthem because its message is about spending the celebration away from romantic letters and the bouquets of flowers, that's why their launch was a day before February 14.^[8][9] "Forever Alone" it alludes to the internet meme of the black and white drawing that has the face in the shape of a potato, which shows an afflicted and tearful expression, which is often used to represent situations where the person pretends to be isolated and alone.^[10]
