"Don't Forget to Remember Me" is the fourth single from Carrie Underwood's seventuple-platinum debut album Some Hearts, and is the only country single released by Underwood to not reach number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs only making it to number 2. Underwood performed this single live on American Idol during the fifth season's finale on May 24, 2006. At her concert in Duluth, GA at the Arena at Gwinnett Center on April 24th, 2008 she went into tears in the middle of the second chorus. She apologized and carried on with the song.

In this country music track, Underwood tells a story of good-bye when she is ready to leave home after graduating High School. When she's ready to leave the house to move on with her life, her mother tells her not to forget her. Underwood has to accept the fact that now she is living all by herself as she relates in her lyrics.

In the music video, which was premiered on CMT on March 12, 2006 Underwood is shown walking off a bus and immediately signing autographs, as the song moves on Underwood, in her new house, has flashbacks of when she is loading up her Chevy with equipment and hugging her mother as she sings in the song "...We were loading up that Chevy both tryin' not to cry..." Underwood also sings while approaching a public telephone to call her mother and at the end of the music video she takes the stage and sings to an empty large auditorium.

Underwood's mother appears in the video as herself.
