This album was recorded while the band was filming their popular reality show, Making The Band 4, Season 3.

However the group worked out their issues and recorded their sophomore effort. Que of the group stated in a Twitter message that they are shooting the video for "Perfectly Blind". Will of the group also stated in a video message that they were on the set of the video for "So Good" on June 2. On June 24, the Truth Is A Lie video premiered. [1] On the same day the Girlfriend video premiered. [2] This is the last studio album featuring Qwanell "Que" Mosley, who went on hiatus from the group in late 2009, and also the last album released on Bad Boy Records.
The first official single, titled "Imma Put It on Her" was released for digital download on March 31, 2009. The second single was "Stadium Music". It was released onto iTunes before the album was released and now Day26 have released a music video for the single. It premiered on the 29 May 2009. [3]

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found "even though the members had a hand in co-writing roughly half the material, there's not much to differentiate this set from the first, apart from a slight increase in material best suited for clubs, which plays to the group's strengths. That said, three of the album's highlights are the typically midtempo and dreamily romantic Tim & Bob cuts, and the surprisingly effective Dream/Tricky Stewart knock-off ballad." [5] Mark Edward Nero from About.com found that Forever in a Day was "sort of like a cake; it's topped by some sticky-sweet frosting, in this case radio-friendly pop songs that sit at the top of the album. But the real goodness isn't in the empty, calorie-rich stuff at the top, but in the cake's inner layers. To put it another way, the first handful of tracks on the album are disposable Auto Tune-heavy songs uptempo club that chase trends, while it's some of the latter, mid-tempo tracks that properly showcase the group's singing and rely less on studio gimmicks." [4]
Forever in a Day debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 113,000 copies in its first-week of release, becoming the group's second top five album on the chart. [8] It slipped to number eight in its second week on the chart, selling further 37,000 copies. [9]
