"You Won't Forget About Me" is a pop and dance song performed by the Australian singer Dannii Minogue, released in autumn 2004 (see 2004 in music). Originally released as a single only, the track appeared on Minogue's 2006 compilation album, The Hits & Beyond, and has since been officially added to the track listing of the studio album, Club Disco.
"You Won't Forget About Me" is a dance/pop song, which features the use of heavy drum beats and synth strings. The songs lyrics, written by Minogue, Pete Hammond and Bruce Elliot-Smith, describe a summer romance that has now ended. The two lovers reassure each other that "you won't forget about me / as long as you live".
After the success of her previous album, Neon Nights, Minogue was asked by All Around the World Records, a major dance label whose main signings were Cascada, Ultrabeat, N-Trance and Flip & Fill, if she would write the lyrics to a popular dance instrumental track called "Flower Power", which was a huge hit in clubs in Ibiza. Minogue agreed and wrote the lyrics to the song that became "You Won't Forget About Me". About writing lyrics for the song Minogue said, "I'd heard it without vocals and I thought, 'Fantastic'. I had already written loads of vocals for myself and knew I had something that would be perfect for it."
The music video for the song was directed by Harvey & Carolyn. It is more edgy than previous Minogue videos and was inspired by the television show Sex and the City. The music video is filled with rewind and fast-forward sequences. Dannii's date is played by her friend, the male model Benjamin Hart.
The video begins with Dannii returning home from a date. She then takes off her dress, slips into an oversized T-shirt, and then has a girls' night out with her girlfriends at her house, drinking, dancing, and playing around. Dannii's date calls her and she begins to get ready for her next date. She takes off her shirt and lies on her bed, daydreaming about her and her date being intimate. Dannii's girlfriends then help her get dressed, in the same blue dress, and they start dancing and playing around a final time before Dannii notices the doorbell. She puts her barette back in her hair, answers the door, and starts making out with her date, just like in the beginning of the video.
