"Forgotten Love" is a song by Norwegian singer and songwriter AURORA, released on August 17, 2018 as the second single from the first chapter of her second studio album, Infections Of A Different Kind – Step 1.
AURORA explained to NME what the song is about: "Moving on from a period of your life which was beautiful, but the memory of it was painful. If you lose someone or they die for instance, you carry them with you. It's very heavy but it's scary to let go, because it's the only thing you have left."
AURORA talked about the single's cover art on her social media on the one-year birthday of the song: "I painted this self portrait last minute cause we didn't have any cover for it. Or I had been painting it for a while, but I didn't show it to anyone before I realized this would be a perfect fit. I had to paint in-between festival shows, and every time I came home again the painting still hadn't dried off, so I could continue like no time had ever passed. It was a beautiful time-pocket for me. Still feeling the touch from the people of the past."
AURORA sings the third verse in an imaginary language invented by herself that only she can understand. She explained:
"The meaning of my own language is that I can sing words that feels right for the heart, while people get the chance to listen to music without any lyrics. I have made a language based on emotion. The words alone means nothing but with the energy you put into them they change.
None of the words can really be spelled, so it's really funny to see people trying to write them down! But they can't be written down. Only spoken. They are not words on paper, but words in the air."
