Veronicas decided to re-record '4ever,' the debut single from their 2005 album The Secret Life Of..., after performing a newer version of the Max
Martin and Dr. Luke-penned pop song while on the road touring behind their current album Hook Me Up. 'Since recording '4ever,' the band has progressed, so we wanted to update the song,' says Jessica.
