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]
