Forget You

Forget You by CeeLo Green was created as a more radio-friendly version of the original F*** You. The songwriters expressed romantic frustrations and disappointments in a humorous and ironic way. The inspiration came from the personal experiences of the composers, especially CeeLo Green, who wanted to blend elements of pain with a comedic touch.

Key: C
