Maggie Rogers Performs “Don't Forget Me” & Cover of Tate McRae's “greedy” on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge
American singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers appeared on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to perform “Don't Forget Me” and a cover of Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae's “greedy”.
“Don't Forget Me” was released as the first single from her upcoming third studio album of the same name back in February.
The track was written by Maggie Rogers and Ian Fitchuk.
Maggie Rogers said of the song, “I've joked with my friends that it's a song about having low expectations, but really I think it's about craving simple baselines - a good lover or someone that's nice to me. When it comes down to it, our memories and relationships are all we have. I don't have a lot of asks, but I want my time spent on this earth to add up to something. For it all to be worth it in the end. I think remembering someone can be the greatest form of loving because we remember, the love lives on in us. When I'm standing at the end of my life, I hope a lifetime of accumulated love is what I'm left with.”- The original version of “greedy” was released by Tate McRae as the lead single from her sophomore album “Think Later” in September 2023.
The track was written by Tate McRae, Amy Allen, Jasper Harris, and OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder. Produced by Jasper Harris, Ryan Tedder, and Grant Boutin.
The song reached No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles chart. - The new album “Don't Forget Me” comprises a 10-track and is set to be released on April 12, 2024.
Maggie Rogers said of the album, “I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon. Worn in denim. A drive in your favorite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion's motel room. An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her.”
