"Forever Means" comes off Rehab Doll, the only studio album Green River ever made, which Sub Pop put out in June 1988, when the band had already fallen apart. The credits tell the story in miniature: the music is by bassist Jeff Ament and guitarists Stone Gossard and Bruce Fairweather, the words by singer Mark Arm, and during these sessions Ament and Gossard were pushing for something more rock while Arm wanted to dig further into punk.
Bruce Calder produced and engineered it at Steve Lawson Productions in Seattle, after the band walked away from its first sessions with Jack Endino at Reciprocal Recording. Work started in July 1987; on October 31 Ament, Gossard and Fairweather announced they were quitting, yet everyone agreed to see the album through, and the last sessions wrapped in January 1988.
