My Love Is Forever is the seventh track on Prince's first album For You. In 1979, it was included as the b-side on some versions of I Wanna Be Your Lover, the first single from Prince's second album Prince.
An early version of the song was recorded in 1976 at Moonsound, Minneapolis, MN, USA, under the name Love Is Forever, using Chris Moon's original lyrics (during the same set of sessions as Aces, Baby, Diamond Eyes, Don't Forget, Don't Hold Back, Fantasy, I'm Yours, Jelly Jam (which was later used as the instrumental portion of Just As Long As We're Together), Leaving For New York, Make It Through The Storm, Since We've Been Together, Surprise and Soft And Wet).
In 1976-1977, Prince re-wrote some of the lyrics, and recorded the song at Sound 80, Minneapolis, MN, USA, under the title My Love Is Forever prior to signing a contract or beginning work on the album. Specific recording dates for the album version of song are not known, but the album was recorded at the Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, USA, from 1 October 1977 to 22 December 1977, before overdubs and mixing took place, in early January 1978 at Sound Labs, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
