Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Seventeen Forever. By Songfacts®.

This song about young love was written by the Metro Station band members, including lead singer Trace Cyrus, whose half-sister is Miley Cyrus. Trace couldn't be 17 forever: he was 18 when the song was released.

This was the follow-up to "Shake It," Metro Station's biggest hit. Both songs were produced by the team of Sam Hollander and Dave Katz, who went by the name S*A*M and Sluggo. Metro Station released just the one (self-titled) album before breaking up a few years later. They returned in 2015 with a new album called Savior, but it got little attention.

Metro Station frontman Trace Cyrus told MTV News: "It's a very meaningful song for us. It's the first song me, [co-frontman] Mason [Musso] and [synth guy/ bassist] Blake [Healy] made. Me and Mason had been going over to Blake's house for a few months and all three of us were like, 'Why are all three of us getting together? We should be friends but I don't know if we're a band.' But then finally one day Blake had the lyrics to 'Seventeen Forever,' and we went over and recorded the song. And after the weekend was over, Blake edited it and put it on MySpace, and it was kind of like an overnight success. When I heard the song, that was the first time I thought maybe something could happen. I know when my parents heard it, it was the first time they were like, 'This blows our mind. We didn't realize the kind of music you were making!' We finally found the sound we wanted, and we established the sound for Metro Station. We were so happy for it."
