"Together Forever" is a song recorded by Rick Astley, which ascended to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 18 June 1988. It was Astley's second and final U.S. chart-topper. It reached number 2 in Britain, being denied the top spot by Neighbours star Kylie Minogue with her debut single "I Should Be So Lucky". It uses a similar chord structure and melody to "Never Gonna Give You Up" (as with most songs produced by Stock Aitken Waterman at the time), but different lyrics.
