When you hear "Thank You 4 Ever" it reminds you of the relationship between gratitude and love. Through this song Ketsyha expresses how much she appreciates that special person in her life. The same person she always considered her best friend, years before they fell in love. The loving boy that has kept his unconditional support in a long distance relationship, while she pursues her music career recording her upcoming releases in Hollywood, California, while he is in Puerto Rico, where they both are from. This song combines her Hip Hop influences, that were introduced during dancing lessons, where she first met her soul mate. Now these influences are combined with R&B/Soul vocals and gospel harmonies.
The song is an emotional journey where bouncy Hip Hop/R&B beats are combined with real drums and a funky R&B bass groove. An electric guitar oscillates between a rhythmic arpeggiated chord progression to a funky twang. Several keyboard arpeggiated and atmospheric sounds introduce the song together with a humming vocal harmony. The emotional lead vocal with modern R&B stylings is later joined by background vocals doing gospel/R&B harmonies and a scratching vinyl with her own voice. Towards the end of the song, a high powered guitar solo is featured combining elements of both blues and R&B, followed by Ketsyha's powerful ad lib embellishments.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Looking back in time
When I saw your smile
My love for you was still unknown
Waiting for the tale to unfold
I was caught by your eyes
By your wise advice
the jokes that every night you told
Everybody knew that you were gold
Pre-Chorus
Every little moment
Knowing more about each other
Starting to trust again
With our hearts broken
But our minds were still open
The day we became more than friends
Chorus
Thank you for all the things you’ve done for me
With you I have learned to be the best that I can be
Anytime I'm blue you smile and set aside the pain
Even when you’re miles away your love for me is the same
Verse 2
And the years passed by
How quickly time flies
I wasn't even in your plan
I never thought you’d be my man
Now our plans are tied
With a purpose inside
Your mindset is a work of art
The way you understand my heart
Pre-Chorus 2
Every little moment
Knowing more about each other
Starting to trust again
With our hearts broken
But our minds were still open
The day we became more than friends
Chorus 2
Thank you for all the things you’ve done for me
With you I have learned to be the best that I can be
Anytime I'm blue you smile and set aside the pain
Even when you’re miles away my love for you is the same
I will thank you forever Ah, ah, ah, ah
I will thank you forever Ah, ah, ah, ah
Pre-Chorus
Every little moment
Knowing more about each other
Starting to trust again
With our hearts broken
But our minds were still open
The day we became more than friends
(Guitar solo)
Chorus 3
Thank you for all the things you’ve done for me
With you I have learned to be the best that I can be
Anytime I'm blue you smile and set aside the pain
Even when you’re miles away my love for you is the same
I will thank you forever Ah, ah, ah, ah
I will thank you forever Ah, ah, ah, ah
I will thank you forever Ah, ah, ah, ah
I will thank you forever Ah, ah, ah, ah
I will thank you forever
