The LP is her third. Along with the announcement, she shared the record’s title track.

Along with the announcement, Rogers has shared the album’s reflective title track, “Don’t Forget Me.” A musing on the aftermath of relationships short and long, Rogers channels folk and country sensibilities to capture the feeling. The song comes with a video, captured on Super 8 film in Maine, following the rhythms of daily life explored on the album.
Rogers co-produced Don’t Forget Me with Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris) at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, writing eight of its ten songs with him and penning two alone. Shawn Everett (Brittany Howard, The War on Drugs) mixed. The album was mastered by Emily Lazar (Beck, Coldplay), who has mastered all of Rogers’ albums to date. Last year, Rogers shared via her newsletter that the album was written in a very short period of time: “This record came quickly over the span of five days over the holiday break. One song after another. Two songs a day. Like water on the table. It all just came spilling out.”
In a new letter, Rogers shares her inspiration behind the record. “I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon. Worn in denim. A drive in your favorite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion’s motel room. An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her.”
