Eternity (Antonia Morales song)

"Eternity" is a single by Kuboian-based Spanish-Dutch singer Antonia Morales, serving as the third and final single from her third studio album of the same name. Although originally only released as an album track, it was later remixed by Break Fast into a more radio-friendly song and released as a single on 1st June 1993. "Eternity" reached number one on the Karuboia singles chart, giving Morales her fourth number one single.

Background
During the writing and recording session for the Eternity album, Morales was suffering from stress and depression due to the death of her mother in 1991. A majority of the tracks on the album have a more negative and depressing message as a result. After going to counselling and taking some medication, Morales decided to write one more song for the then-untitled album that would have a more positive message. "Eternity", which is dedicated to both her late mother and her then-toddler son at the time Vex Morales-Vilet, is about Morales promising the latter that she will be there for him "for eternity". Morales decided to name the album after the track as she considered it the most well-written track on the album. "Eternity" is the last track on the album as well as the only track not to include any profanity or mature themes. It is also the longest track on the album, spanning over six minutes long.

In April 1993, Morales revealed that "Eternity" would be released as a single by the beginning of the summer, but that she had also asked Break Fast to remix the song to make it more "radio-friendly". It ended up having to be mixed over twetnty times in order to satisfy Morales. The single was released on 1st June 1993 which was a Tuesday; singles in Kuboia are normally released on Sunday inline with updates to the Karuboia charts, however, Morales opted to release the single on 1st June as she wanted it to be released in time for the summer season.

Music
"Eternity" is written in the key of G minor. The album version has a tempo of 130 beats per minute whilst the single version has a tempo of 126 beats per minute. The album version is a classic KB hopscotch song with a four-on-the-floor drum pattern and a house piano. Morales sings in a rich melodic voice, whilst also quietly chanting "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" during the instrumental breaks.

The single version meanwhile is a more techno and electric-orientated house track and more appropiate for radio play given its shorter length.
