"Young Forever" was inspired when The Ready Set first started out, touring and focusing on staying positive. [5] Witzigreuter described the song as "different" from other songs he has released. [3] In an interview with The Oakland Post he explained:
"I'm really excited that the second single is as different as it is from 'Love Like Woe' because I don't want to be the artist that puts out the same song over and over trying to get a successful single or something." [3]
The song was made available for streaming on March 1, 2011. [6] A digital EP was released via iTunes, which contains the B-side "Operator", along with an acoustic version of "Young Forever" and the music video for "Love Like Woe". [7] A vinyl edition was released on August 16, which includes a cover version of the song by That's Outrageous!. [8] In 2012, Witzigreuter performed the song in an episode of Disney Channel's So Random! . [9]
"Young Forever" peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart, lasting 3 weeks, [10] as well as peaking at number 45 on the Billboard Pop Digital Song Sales. [11] It also peaked at number five on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. [12]
The music video for "Young Forever" premiered on MTV on April 19, 2011 and currently has 6.2 million views. [13] In the video, Witzigreuter uses a "Freeze Time" iPhone app to suspend the movements of other people in the hotel aside from a couple of female fans and his backing band. Throughout the video, they are seen throwing streamers in the hallways, bombing unsuspecting people with silly string and raising havoc. The band is also seen rocking out in the hotel lobby. [13]
The video was shot in Baltimore and according to Witzigreuter, the idea for the video went back and forth with different video directors before they decided the concept to have something to do with freezing time. [14] Aspiring actress and singer Madison McFarland, who played one of the female fans in the video, revealed that it 17 hours to shoot. [15]
