Blackie Lawless wrote "Forever Free" alone, words and music, and produced it himself for The Headless Children, the fourth W.A.S.P. album, which Capitol put out in 1989. Mikey Davis engineered and mixed it.
The record around it marked a grown-up turn for a band whose first three albums had traded in stereotypically lewd rock-and-roll lyrics; this time politics and social issues run all through it, and the cover, based on a Daniel R. Fitzpatrick cartoon, lines up the likes of Stalin, Hitler and Charles Manson. It was also the end of a chapter. W.A.S.P. broke up for a while in 1990, regrouping two years later for The Crimson Idol.
