Songfacts®:

  • "Till Forever Falls Apart" is an end-of-the-world love song where Ashe and Finneas sing about loving each other through every obstacle. Even amid earthquakes, tsunamis, or the sky falling from above, their love will never break. Both artists come from California, which lies on a major fault line. They acknowledge there is an ever-present threat of a monumental disaster striking the Golden State, but they will always have each other.
  • Released on March 2, 2021, the eruptive ballad fits the COVID era similarly to another male-female apocalyptic love song, "If the World Was Ending."
  • Ashe and Finneas wrote the song with Leroy "Big Taste" Clampitt. Finneas and Big Taste also produced the track.
  • Finneas was the executive producer on Ashe's two Moral of the Story EPs, including the hit title track, but this is the first time he's sung on one of her recordings.
  • Ashe explained that this song and "Moral Of The Story" have a common theme of love being fleeting; all relationships, whether by death or breakup, will end one day.

    "If I've learned anything from 'Moral of the Story,' it's that accepting the hard truth is strangely comforting," she said. "This song, while sounding like the most romantic song I've ever written, is about acceptance as well. The lyrics, 'I'm gonna love you knowing we don't have forever' is about how it's more important to have had the chance to love than to stay in love."
  • Sam Bennett directed the video, which shows each artist dancing separately before coming together for a routine at sunset around the California desert. Ashe noted that their old-school ballroom swing style was inspired by the 1930s dance couple, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

    The clips choreographer, Monika Felice Smith, is a voice actor and dancer from New York.
