Background and release
"Always" was the final track written for Nine. Jade describes it as being "about finding that person, your one, the one you keep falling in love with,”[1] and as one of the album's "very fun pop songs that make you feel like letting go and enjoying the good times".[2]
The song was originally scheduled for release as a single on 6 November 2015.[3] It was announced and released for pre-order on 6 October 2015, however Jade changed course and decided to give previous single "Shake That" a second promotional push and "give the album its moment as well."[4]
On 10 February 2016, Jade re-announced "Always" as her next single, for release on 26 February 2016.[5] On 14 February 2016, Jade launched an "Always" Valentine's Day promotion through Tweematic, an online "photo booth" where fans could take a picture with her to share on social media.[6]
A "stream to unlock" promotion was unveiled on 17 February 2016, where a behind-the-scenes look at the music video would be unlocked after reaching a certain amount of streams on Spotify.
