Notes:
The music video for Never Forget was released in early August 2011. The video starts with Katina waking up in a bright lit room,she then walks into a morgue and sees ex-t.A.T.u. bandmate Julia Volkova and herself dead. The two scenes interpolate. She walks down a hall where eight men are carrying two separate coffins. She follows them to a funeral where she tips a framed photograph of herself over,kisses a photo of Yulia and exits the building. She walks through their graveyard,taking a bouquet of roses out when she leaves. She gets into a car and scatters the flowers. [10] [11] [12]
