"I Don't Remember" is the Powderfinger single from Dream Days at the Hotel Existence that first hit Australian radio on 9 July 2007 and went on sale on 4 August. Bernard Fanning wrote it, taking some cues from bassist John Collins, and Ian Haug took the riff and built it up. Rob Schnapf produced, Doug Boehm engineered, the pair of them mixed it, and Benmont Tench sat in on extra keyboards.

It's a song about patching things up after a fight instead of passing the blame around. Some critics loved its energy; others heard something built for an ad break. The video, with its parodies, won real praise, but the single stalled at No. 42 on the ARIA chart.
