In a time when R&B often swings between toxic tweets and trap drums, Glenn Lewis’s “Don’t You Forget It” reminds us what real love songs used to sound like—and still should. Released in 2002, this slow-burn soul classic feels more relevant than ever in 2025, especially as Gen Z and young millennials rediscover neo-soul and crave sincerity over spectacle.
From the moment the chords slide in, Lewis’s buttery falsetto glides through the track with Stevie Wonder-esque soul and Toronto-born finesse. It’s not just a song—it’s an open letter to someone who slipped away, but still owns space in the heart. And the message? You mattered, and I haven’t forgotten.
In 2025’s urban scene, “Don’t You Forget It” is resurfacing on curated vinyl nights, rooftop lounge sets, and in soulful reels about real love. It’s a soundtrack for deep reflection, subtle flirtation, or just vibing solo with incense burning and the lights low. Glenn didn’t just sing it—he meant it.
