Forget Forever
Selena Gomez · Stars Dance [2013]
I'm never running back on what I said
Trying not to roam but you're so
Far away, so far away
Won't listen to the conscience in my head
I'm conscious but I'm lonely halfway dead
Tired of the things you never,
You never said, you never said
Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world
[Beat break]
Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever
knew my name, my name, my name, my name
I know, I know, I know we can't pretend
That we were never lovers in the end.
I tried to tell myself this pain would
Go away, just go away!
Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was made to rule the world,
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world
[Beat break]
Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever
knew my name, my name, my name, my name
Forget foreverer-er-er-er...
Forget forever-er-er-er-er...
Forget Forever
Released in 2013 on the album Stars Dance, "Forget Forever" serves as a pivotal track in Selena Gomez's transition from teen pop icon to a more mature musical artist. The song exemplifies her signature blend of synth-pop and R&B influences, characterized by a driving electronic beat and emotive vocals that explore themes of heartbreak and moving on. As a lead single from her debut English-language studio album, the recording marked a significant stylistic evolution, moving away from her earlier pop-rock sound toward a darker, more polished electronic aesthetic. The track became a staple of her discography, reinforcing her identity as a versatile vocalist capable of navigating complex emotional landscapes within the contemporary pop genre.
