"Til I Forget About" was written by Sam Hollander, Dave Katz and Claude Kelly, while production was handled by S*A*M and Sluggo.[3] In an interview with Artistdirect, James Maslow stated that the song is about being able to get over a girl and moving on.[4]

Release

[edit]

Before the iTunes release, the song premiered on September 14, 2010, via the group's music site and Nickelodeon's website.[5] The single served as the lead single of the group's album, BTR. The physical release of the single was available on September 28, 2010 as a CD single containing the song "Famous" as the B-side in selected stores in the United States.[6] The remix EP was released as a United Kingdom exclusive on August 23, 2011.[7]

Music video

[edit]

The music video debuted on television on October 1, 2010 on Nickelodeon after the premiere of the Big Time Rush episode, "Big Time Fans".[8] The video begins with the foursome playing inside their tour bus when suddenly Kendall gets a text message from his girlfriend which says "its over". As they arrive to their next venue they find out it's actually a country club and then Carlos finds a button on his Camcorder that says: ROCK OUT, after touching it the camcorder changes the way people and things look and makes them rock, which is when the music sequence starts. The video ends at an indoor concert the group holds inside one of the rooms of the country club.[8] According to Kendall Schmidt, the group rented a mansion to film the video.[9]
