Background

Rogers first performed songs from the record at tour stops on her 2023 tour supporting her second studio album Surrender (2022). [1] Rogers co-produced the album herself with additional assistance from Ian Fitchuk at the Electric Lady Studios in New York City. [2] The singer-songwriter wrote eight of the ten songs with Fitchuk, while two are entirely self-penned. In a letter, she announced her goal to have been the creation of a record that was akin to a "Sunday afternoon". [3]

On January 1, 2024, she previewed a snippet of a song titled "Don't Forget Me" with a caption saying "see you in 2024". [4] The eponymous lead single was then released alongside the album announcement on February 8, 2024. [5] To Rogers, the song signifies a "rough journal entry" about attending festivities from friends while she craves "simple baselines" and finds herself "in a different place in [her] life". [6]

Don't Forget Me released to critical acclaim. Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, awarded the album an average score of 84 based on 16 critical reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".
