Background

"Young Forever" was released by The Ready Set on March 1, 2011. Operator was released as the second song for the single as part of the deluxe download.[5] Witzigreuter describes the song as "different."[3] In an interview he explains:

"I’m really excited that the second single is as different as it is from 'Love Like Woe' because I don’t want to be the artist that puts out the same song over and over trying to get a successful single or something."[3]

In 2012, Witzigreuter performed the song in an episode of Disney Channel's So Random!.[6]

"Young Forever" peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart, lasting 3 weeks, as well as peaking at number 45 on the Billboard Pop Digital Song Sales.[7][8] It also peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.[9]
