Noisettes sent "Never Forget You" out on 21 June 2009 as the third single from Wild Young Hearts, the English band's second album, and it's a bright, bubbly swerve toward vintage soul. USA Today made it one of its Picks of the Week, hearing early Motown in the groove and a sweet croon from Shingai Shoniwa, and British buyers pushed it to number 20 that August. Shingai shares the writing credit with Dan Smith, Jamie Morrison, George Astasio and Jason Pebworth.
The video has her stepping out of Alexandra Palace in North London through blue doors and slinging a gold bass over her shoulder while the camera drops to the silver Dr. Martens boots the lyrics mention. Then she heads for a blue convertible, a Chesil Speedster modeled on a classic Porsche 356, and hops in on the passenger side.
