SHAKIRA - CAN'T REMEMBER TO FORGET YOU
With Rihanna
I Left A Note On My Bedpost
Said Not To Repeat Yesterday's Mistakes
What I Tend To Do When It Comes To You
I See Only The Good, Selective Memory
The Way He Makes Me Feel Yeah, Gotta Hold On Me
I've Never Met Someone So Different
Oh Here We Go
He A Part Of Me Now, He A Part Of Me
So Where You Go I Follow
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Keep Forgetting I Should Let You Go
But When You Look At Me, The Only Memory, Is Us Kissing In The Moonlight
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
Ooooh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
I Go Back Again
Fall Off The Train
Land In His Bed
Repeat Yesterday's Mistakes
What I'm Trying To Say Is Not To Forget
You See Only The Good, Selective Memory
The Way He Makes Me Feel Like
The Way He Makes Me Feel
I Never Seemed To Act So Stupid
Oh Here We Go
He A Part Of Me Now He A Part Of Me
So Where He Goes I Follow, Follow, Follow, Oh
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Keep Forgetting I Should Let You Go
But When You Look At Me, The Only Memory, Is Us Kissing In The Moonlight
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
I Rob And I Kill To Keep Him With Me
I Do Anything For That Boy
I'd Give My Last Dime To Hold Him Tonight
I Do Anything For That Boy
I Rob And I Kill To Keep Him With Me
I Do Anything For That Boy
I'd Give My Last Dime To Hold Him Tonight
I Do Anything For That Boy
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Keep Forgetting I Should Let You Go
But When You Look At Me, The Only Memory, Is Us Kissing In The Moonlight
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
But When You Look At Me, The Only Memory, Is Us Kissing In The Moonlight
Ohohohoh Ohohohoh
I Can't Remember To Forget You
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Shakira, Jhn Hill, Tom Hull, Daniel Alexander, Erik Hassle, Robyn Fenty
Producer(s): John Hill, Kidd Harpoon, Shakira
The First Single From Shakira's Fourth English Studio Album Features Rihanna And Finds The Two Stars Lamenting On Their Inability To Forget Lovers Who Are Bad For Them. "Working With Rihanna Was Utopia. She's The Sexiest Woman On The Planet," The Colombian Singer Said In Glamour Magazine. "And At The End Of The Day, We're Both Just Basically Caribbean Girls. The Chemistry Was So Good And So Real. She Taught Me Dance Moves. She Was A Sweet Teacher."
Rihanna Turned Down An Offer From Pitbull To Sing On His "Timber" Single, As She Was Already Working With Shakira On This Song.
Shakira's Relationship With The Father Of Her Child, Spanish Soccer Player Gerard Pique, Was Definitely Not An Inspiration For The Track. She Told Ryan Seacrest: "I'm Going Through A Completely Different Experience Right In Relation To The Song. The Song Is About That Guy That Just Gets Under Your Skin And You Can't Leave Alone. I Think Every Woman Has Been Through That. This Song Is Not Exactly A Reflection Of My Personal Life Right Now."
The Music Video Was Shot In A Los Angeles Mansion And Directed By Joseph Kahn (Eminem And Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie," Mariah Carey And Miguel's "#Beautiful").
A Spanish Adaptation Of The Song Was Also Released, Sung Solely By Shakira. It Was Titled "Nunca Me Acuerdo De Olvidarte."
The Video's Scenes Of The Two Stars Being Intimate With Each Other Provoked Controversy With A Colombian Politician Accusing Shakira Of "Promoting Lesbianism." The Colombian Singer Told Ryan Seacrest That She Consulted Her Footballer Boyfriend Gerard Piqué Before She Went Ahead With The Clip. "I Asked Him If He Agreed With Everything And He Agreed. I Wanted To Make Sure Because He's Super Jealous," Shakira Told The Kiis Fm Dj. "He's A Man. He's Territorial. He Wants To Know Everything Is Under Control."
This Was Used On The Pretty Little Liars Episode "Bloody Hell" (2015) In A Scene With Emily Practicing Her Dance Routine.
