"You Won't Forget About Me" is a Dance-pop song, which features the use of heavy drum beats and synth strings. The songs lyrics, written by Minogue, describe a summer romance that has now come to an end. The two lovers reassure each other that "you won't forget about me / as long as you live."
After the success of her previous album Neon Nights, Minogue was asked by All Around the World Records, a major dance label who main singings are Cascada Ultrabeat N-trance and Flip & Fill, if she would write the lyrics to a popular dance instrumental track called "Flower Power", which was a huge hit in clubs in Ibiza. Minogue agreed and wrote the lyrics to the song that would soon become "You Won't Forget About Me". About writing lyrics for the song Minogue said: "”I'd heard it without vocals and I thought, 'Fantastic'. I had already written loads of vocals for myself and knew I had something that would be perfect for it."
The music video for the song was directed by Hervey & Carolyn. The video is more edgy than previous Minogue videos and was inspired by the television show Sex and the City. The music video is filled with rewind and fast-forward sequences. With sequences playing forward, and them playing rewinding and then fast-forwarding, playing at twice the speed. Dannii's date is played by her friend, male model Benjamin Hart.

We shared the passion till the end
I found a friend I will remember
I'll never feel the same again
(now that's its over)
Living the dream
I'm Breathing in deep
It's good to know, yeah it's good to know that
[Chorus]
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
I hear the music over and over
The memories play on and on
I'm living this dream
I'm breathing in deep
Then I hear you say
As you drift away
That it's good to know, it's good to know that
[Chorus]
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
I'm living the dream
When I'm breathing in deep
Want it all on repeat
Play it on and on
'cause' it's good to know that
[Chorus]
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
The song "You Won't Forget About Me" by Dannii Minogue is about a summer fling that has ended, but the memories of it linger on. The lyrics suggest that the relationship was passionate and unforgettable, and that even though it is over, the memories will continue to play on in the person's mind, and the other person will never forget about them.
The opening lines of the song, "Our first and last summer together, we shared the passion till the end" indicate that their romance was intense but short-lived, and that they knew from the beginning that their time together would be limited. However, the strong emotions they shared made a deep impression on both of them, and they will never be the same again.
The chorus repeats the promise that the other person will never forget about the singer, as long as they live. This suggests that their time together was so significant that it left an indelible mark on the person's memory, and that they will always associate the singer with that time in their life.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship, and the power that love can have to change us forever.
