"I Don't Mind If You Forget Me" turns up on Viva Hate, Morrissey's first solo album, released by His Master's Voice on 14 March 1988, barely six months after the Smiths' last studio record, Strangeways, Here We Come. Morrissey wrote the words, and Stephen Street, who composed the music across the album, wrote the tune.
The partnership grew out of demos Street, a Smiths co-producer, had sent over as possible B-sides after Johnny Marr left the band; Morrissey liked them enough to build a solo debut on them, and made it just two months after the Smiths came apart. Street produced the album and played bass on it, with Vini Reilly of the Durutti Column on guitar.
