Don’t Forget Me

GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter/producer/performer Maggie Rogers will release Don’t Forget Me, her third studio album, on April 12 via Capitol Records.

“I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon,” explains Rogers in the letter below, which tells the story of the making of Don’t Forget Me. “Worn in denim. A drive in your favourite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion’s motel room.  An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her.”

Today, Rogers shared the title track – an intimate reflection on the legacy we create through our relationships. The accompanying video was filmed in Super 8 in Maine and unfolds with an organic energy akin to the album as it tracks the simple, reassuring rhythms of daily life.

She co-produced Don’t Forget Me with Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris) at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, writing eight of its 10 songs with him and penning two alone. Shawn Everett (Brittany Howard, The War on Drugs) mixed. The album was mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay), who has mastered all of Rogers’ albums to date.

Rogers debuted “Don’t Forget Me,” “The Kill” and “So Sick Of Dreaming” during her sold-out Summer of ’23 North American headline tour,  which brought her to iconic venues such as Red Rocks and the Hollywood Bowl. Additional songs were previewed during last month’s listening parties, which celebrated the 5^th anniversary of the release of Heard It In A Past Life, her 2019 debut album.

Heard It In A Past Life entered Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart at No. 1 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Now certified Gold by the RIAA, the album has sold nearly a million copies worldwide and accrued one billion combined global streams. Her 2022 follow up album, Surrender, also earned widespread praise, with Rolling Stone hailing Rogers as a “pop music prodigy…an artist who’s in it for the long haul” and Pitchfork noting, “she sounds renewed, submitting to the pull of her heart without apology.”
