Won't you come see about me? I'll be alone, dancing you know it, baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Giving me everything inside and out and Love's strange so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart When the light gets into your heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't don't don't don't Don't you forget about me Will you stand above me? Look my way, never love me Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down Will you recognise me? Call my name or walk on by? Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down Don't you try to pretend It's my feeling we'll win in the end I won't harm you or touch your defenses Vanity, insecurity Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing you know it, baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby Don't you forget about me Don't don't don't don't Don't you forget about me As you walk on by Will you call my name? As you walk on by Will you call my name? When you walk away Or will you walk away? Will you walk on by? Come on - call my name Will you call my name? I sing La la la

Lançada no primeiro trimestre de 1985, a música foi extraída do álbum de trilha sonora de *The Breakfast Club*, dirigida por John Hughes.
A canção alcançou o número 1 no Billboard Hot 100 dos Estados Unidos e o número 7 na lista oficial do Reino Unido, além de entrar no top ten em vários outros mercados.
Em 1986, o tema foi usado na cena de baile de *Pretty In Pink*. Embora a música tenha sido gravada para a cena, o áudio real utilizado no filme foi *If You Leave* da OMD, causando a discordância entre a música e o ritmo dos dançarinos.
Em 2013, a atriz Molly Ringwald gravou uma versão em jazz de “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” para seu álbum *Except Sometimes*.
O Billboard Magazine classificou o single como o 16º maior da década de 1985 nos Estados Unidos.
