Don’t Forget To Remember MeCarrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood – Don’t Forget To Remember Me (Official Video)

Carrie Underwood’s 2006 hit song “Don’t Forget to Remember Me.” This is its second appearance on the chart.

So she’s released two songs expressing gratitude to her mom, huh? (Haha.) She must really love her mother.

The lyrics capture the feelings of a daughter who turns 18, graduates high school, and starts living on her own, directed toward her mom.

The melody sounds a lot like “Mama’s Song,” so if you’re hearing it for the first time, it might be hard to tell them apart.
