Foreverywhere is an album of children's music by American musician and former Blue's Clues host Steve Burns that he recorded alongside longtime collaborator Steven Drozd under the band name STEVENSTEVEN. [1]
After Drozd helped Burns record his first solo album, Songs for Dustmites , the two musicians became friends. A few years later, the duo recorded a children's song called "I Hog the Ground" for the Nickelodeon show Jack's Big Music Show and enjoyed themselves so much that they decided to create a children's album together.
"We deliberately took kiddie-cliché ideas and tried to elevate them, which is why there's a unicorn and a rainbow princess," Burns said about the album. "The kids I've met are very emotionally complex people. I just don't think that there's much difference between what makes music great for adults and what makes music great for kids." [2]
Music videos were created for the songs "OK Toilet Bowl", "The Unicorn and Princess Rainbow", and "A Fact is a Gift That You Give Your Brain". [3]
Burns and Drozd performed songs from the album live at the Brooklyn Bowl on February 26, 2017. [4]
In a rare television appearance, Burns appeared on TMZ in March 2017 to discuss the album and its fourth track "OK Toilet Bowl". On the song, Burns said, "We call that a song about courage because, that age group, that's a big fear of theirs actually and we wanted to address that." [5]
On July 26, 2019, Burns announced via Instagram that Foreverywhere was being adapted into an audio book:
"These are the things you need to know: A lonesome prog rock Finalcorn. A cosmic guitar shredding princess. A giant named Rick. Monsters. Ramen shops. Friendship. Music. FOREVERYWHERE is about a lot of things. Add this Audible Original to your wish list; Audible members, you can get it FREE on Aug 1st! Based on the kids album I made with @stevendrozd. Written by @bitchinville, narrated by yours truly and featuring @carlyciarrocchi as Princess Rainbow. Link in bio, yo." [6]

Six days later on August 1, 2019, the audio book was released exclusively to Audible. It features narration from Burns as well as Carly Ciarrocchi and Stephanie Mayers. [7]
