Critical reception

"Remind Me to Forget" received positive reviews from music critics. Shanté Honeycutt of Billboard noted the song's potential to become "a summer dance jam", regarding it as a memorable song despite the title, writing: "Kygo's lighthearted production is a match for Miguel's powerhouse vocals".[6] Kevin Goddard of HotNewHipHop called the song "another strong addition to both artist's growing catalog of hits", writing that it features an "uptempo and infectious dance-friendly production from Kygo", on which "Miguel shows off his vocals".[7] Similarly, Essence's Rachaell Davis wrote that "the song features Miguel delivering his signature vocals over an infectious beat".[5] Artistdirect deemed the song a mixture of Kygo's "upbeat tropical house sound" and "Miguel's seductive and sultry vocals", resulting in "an endlessly-playable melody".[8] Rap-Up described the collaboration as "dance floor-ready", on which Miguel's "soothing" vocals are backed by "Kygo's melodic, pulsing instrumental".[9] Karlie Powell of Your EDM opined that the song "bridges the gap between EDM and mainstream", as the two artists "play off each other's styles for a straight up unforgettable result".[10]

The music video of "Remind Me to Forget" was released on 6 May 2018 on Kygo's official YouTube channel. It features Miguel in a room where walls, chairs and furniture around him smash into pieces.[11]
