Laufey’s “Forget-Me-Not” is a touching and deeply personal song from her 2025 album A Matter of Time. Unlike many of her previous songs sung in English, this track is performed in Icelandic and recorded with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, giving it a rich, orchestral feel rooted in her homeland’s folk traditions.
It’s a deeply personal reflection on love, sacrifice, and the fear of being forgotten, wrapped in a delicate mix of jazz-pop and orchestral melancholy. The song’s vibe is bittersweet and nostalgic, evoking the feeling of missing someone so deeply that it hurts, yet holding onto hope that they’ll remember you. It’s the kind of track that makes you feel like you’re sitting alone, staring out a window, thinking about someone you love but can’t be with. The title phrase, “Forget me not,” carries the heartfelt message: though she must part ways, she wants to be remembered and loved forever. With gentle melodies and an emotional depth, “Forget-Me-Not” stands out as a cathartic expression of homesickness, identity, and the sacrifices artists make to grow.

Lyrics of Forget-Me-Not by Laufey
[Verse 1]
Hold Up Your Chin, Deep Breath In, It’s Alright
Here I Begin Missing Him, It’s My Plight
Nothing Worth Having Has Come To Me Easily
I’ve Sacrificed You, I’ll Love You Completely
[Chorus]
Love You Forever, Don’t Let Go Of Me
I Left My Own Homeland To Chase Reverie
Gleymdu Mér Aldrei Þó Ég Héđan Flýg
Gleymdu Mér Aldrei Elskan Mín
[Post-chorus]
Ooh, Ooh
[Verse 2]
I Miss The Wind, Stone Cold Kiss On My Cheeks
Bends In Your Body, The Hope Of Your Speak
Millions Now Hear My Soliloquy
I’m Still That Child On A Black Sand Beach
[Chorus]
Love You Forever, Don’t Let Go Of Me
I’ll Die If I Wither In Your Memory
Gleymdu Mér Aldrei Þó Ég Héđan Flýg
Gleymdu Mér Aldrei Elskan Mín
[Post-chorus]
Ooh, Ooh
