"Forgive & Forget" was one of four singles the Kooks sent out ahead of Listen, their fourth album, which Universal released in September 2014; "Down", "Around Town" and "Bad Habit" were the others. Luke Pritchard wrote it with new drummer Alexis Nunez and producer Inflo. Pritchard sings and plays guitar and synthesizer, Nunez handles drums and percussion and shares bass with Peter Denton, Inflo adds percussion, and Hugh Harris sings backup.
Listen was the first Kooks record Tony Hoffer didn't produce; Inflo took over with Pritchard as co-producer, and they pulled jazz, gospel and R&B into the band's sound, recording in Los Angeles and London, with Steve Fitzmaurice mixing. It came three years after Junk of the Heart, and it fell short of the sales their earlier records had led everyone to expect.
