Dom Dolla & Kid Cudi Drop Dream Collab, ‘Forever’

Who would’ve guessed that a dose of electronic music was all it took to reignite Kid Cudi’s spark? The Grammy-winning rapper is back in full force, energized by the electrifying sound of Australian tastemaker Dom Dolla. Their new collaboration marks a thrilling comeback for Cudi, seamlessly merging his signature introspection with Dom Dolla’s dynamic production. “Forever” is out now via Three Six Zero Recordings.

Over a decade ago, Kid Cudi launched many of us on our first cosmic journey through sound. His breakout hit “Day ‘n’ Nite” became the unofficial anthem for late-night introspection in 2009. Now, after years of guiding listeners through lunar soundscapes, he returns with “Forever”—a standout dance collaboration that’s poised to become one of the year’s defining tracks. “Forever” captures the euphoric feeling of dancing in zero gravity, blending emotional resonance with club-ready energy. While Cudi and Dom Dolla’s goal of creating music that “takes you to a happier time and place” might sound like typical artist-speak, the result is anything but ordinary. Every lyric reaches for the magic of fleeting, perfect moments—and lands with precision.

Of the release, Dom Dolla shared:

“Like many people, I grew up a massive fan of Kid Cudi. In many ways, his music was the soundtrack to my youth. When we met earlier this year, he said to me, ‘Dom… I don’t want to write sad music anymore.’ So, we set ourselves the challenge of writing the happiest song we could. Everyone knows the world is going through a pretty wild time right now — we wanted to transport listeners to another time and place.”

-Dom Dolla

When two worlds collide and the connection is real, Dom Dolla and Kid Cudi have shared that “Forever” isn’t just a track, it’s a feeling. This collaboration was simply meant to be. While some of us may feel lost in a world taken over by throwaway trends and transient ties, their track resonates like a heartbeat beneath the noise—a timeless echo of our shared desire to hold on to the golden, vanishing moments that make life feel infinite.
