Only Forever is the second album by English alternative rock band Puressence, released in 1998. Only Forever displayed a clear shift in Puressence's style, It captured the group in a more positive, lighter, chart-friendly mood. The album charted at #36, this was largely thanks to the amount of play that the first single "This Feeling" received including Radio 1 and MTV.

Mani appeared as producer on the song "Standing in Your Shadow".

"Standing in Your Shadow" was used over the credits of the 1997 film Face.
