Zara Larsson & MNEK - Never Forget You

There's a feeling of disappointment I have with this song. When I first listened to it, I was expecting something more like MNEK's usual fare. So when I got this I was a bit disappointed. After all, this doesn't hold a candle to pretty much everything I've heard with MNEK's vocals on it before. When you factor in MNEK's production discography alongside that, it's even more disappointing that the end result was this.

But that's not totally fair, as it did grow on me. I think Zara's voice suits this song more than MNEK's, but both are reasonably good. Could do without some of the more awkward moments (like when they try and sing over the top of each other) though. The beat drop is an odd inclusion for this type of song, but makes more sense for something MNEK had a hand in. It's fine and adds something different to what can usually be found in this type of song. Lyrically it's cheesy but gosh I know that feeling all too well. I might be past that stage now but it is worth pointing out given how immediate my attraction to this person was, and how I'd dreamt of bigger things with this person which obviously didn't work out. Not only that, but how long it took me to get over him. Definitely not my favourite hit in recent times but I haven't got sick of it at least, and if this leads to MNEK getting another hit in Australia I can't complain too much.
