Some music critics praised the song for its sharp lyricism and refreshing nature, while others criticized its concept as confusing. Commercially, "I Forgot That You Existed" reached number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the top 40 on the national charts of Australia, Canada, and Singapore. It was certified platinum in Australia and Brazil, and silver in the United Kingdom. Swift performed the track live twice on her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024).

Background and release

Taylor Swift conceived her seventh studio album, Lover , as a "love letter to love" itself that delves into the various emotions stirred by love. It was influenced by the connections she experienced with her fans during her Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), which helped her recalibrate her personal life and artistic direction. [1] [2] Republic Records released Lover on August 23, 2019; it was Swift's first album under Republic after she ended her previous contract with Big Machine. "I Forgot That You Existed" was released as the album's opening track. [3] A voice memo that contains an unfinished demo for the song, dubbed "piano/vocal", was released on Lover's physical deluxe edition. [4] [5]

"I Forgot That You Existed" reached number three on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart and number five on the US Rolling Stone Top 100 chart. [6] [7] On the week ending September 7, 2019, it debuted at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 29 on the Canadian Hot 100. [8] [9] In the United Kingdom, the track reached number 39 on the Audio Streaming chart and number 82 on both the Singles Downloads and Singles Sales charts. [10] [11] [12] "I Forgot That You Existed" additionally charted in Singapore (17), [13] Australia (24), [14] Sweden (50), [15] and Scotland (71). [16] It was certified platinum in Australia and Brazil, [17] [18] and silver in the United Kingdom. [19] Swift performed "I Forgot That You Existed" as a "surprise" song on acoustic guitar twice on her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour (2023–2024). She sang it for the first time at the first show in Mexico City on August 24, 2023. [20] She performed it as part of a mashup with her 2017 song "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" at the tour's Cardiff show on June 18, 2024. [21]

Production and composition

"I Forgot That You Existed" was the first track written for Lover, picked as the opening track to complete "the cycle of grieving" explored in Swift's previous album Reputation (2017) and signify a state of indifference after the end of any cycle that involves negative emotions. [22] She wrote and produced the track with Louis Bell and Frank Dukes, motivated by their work with Camila Cabello; she wanted the production to be as simple as the feeling of indifference itself. [23] [22] Bell recorded "I Forgot That You Existed" at Electric Feel Studios in Los Angeles, assisted by Grant Strumwasser. It was mixed by Serban Ghenea at Mixstar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia; mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound Studios in New York; programmed by Bell and Dukes; and engineered for mix by John Hanes. Musicians who played instruments for the track include Bell (keyboards), Serafin Aguilar (trumpet), David Urquidi (saxophone), and Steve Hughes (trombone); Joe Harrison and Dukes played guitar. [23]

"I Forgot That You Existed" is 2 minutes and 50 seconds long. [24] Music journalists identified it as a bubblegum pop, R&B, and post-tropical house song with Auto-Tuned vocal performance. [25] [26] [27] It features a bouncy and minimalist production consisting of a light piano and finger snaps that form a pop rap beat. [28] [29] The song incorporates themes of overcoming the past and finding peace, serving as a transition from the dark themes of Reputation. [30] [31] It explores the idea of creating enough distance from difficult days so that they gradually fade from memory. [29] The lyrics feature a reference to Reputation ("I forgot that you got out some popcorn as soon as my rep starting going down, down, down") and Drake 's 2018 single "In My Feelings" ("In my feelings more than Drake"). [32] [33] [34] Swift makes use of spoken word deliveries and performs a sinister laugh in the final chorus. [35] [36]

Critical reception

Some music critics praised "I Forgot That You Existed" for its airy quality and sharp lyricism. Robert Christgau, in his Substack-published Consumer Guide column, described the track as "mean yet hopeful", [37] The Observer 's Kitty Empire dubbed it a "breezy kiss-off", [38] and Time 's Raisa Bruner referred to it as "bright, light, and bubbly". [39] Craig Jenkins of Vulture thought that it combined the sharp and biting lyricism of Swift's earlier songs, such as "Picture to Burn" (2008) and "Mean" (2011), with the modern production of her later works. He believed it was successful in the context of taking her music in a new direction while still maintaining a connection to her previous work. [29] Deborah Krieger of PopMatters similarly considered it a great transition from the bitterness of Reputation to the more accepting attitude towards life and relationships of Lover. [40] Annie Zaleski from The A.V. Club said that Swift was charmingly nonchalant as she casually sang the line "I forgot that you existed / It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference". [35]

Other critics criticized the concept as confusing and irrelevant. NME 's Nick Levine believed that Swift undermined her message by writing a song about someone she is meant to forget, [41] and Slate 's Carl Wilson found it a song "whose existence disproves its central claim". [42] Miranda Wollen from Paste described the track as disappointing and remarked that it failed to showcase Swift's lyrical and musical abilities. [43] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine considered it a diss track and a toned-down version of her songs "Bad Blood" (2015) and "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things", [44] and Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times dubbed it an "an unwelcome leftover from 2017's revenge-minded Reputation" and placed it at number sixteen in a ranking of Lover's eighteen tracks. [45] Vulture's Nate Jones placed "I Forgot That You Existed" at number 81 while ranking Swift's 245 songs, [46] and Rolling Stone 's Rob Sheffield named it her 221st best song in a 2024 ranking of her discography, finding it to be closer to "reminding" than forgetting.
