## Background and composition

Aurora continued promotion of her forthcoming album by releasing would-be deep cuts as digital promotional singles. Inspired by a night out clubbing while on an international promotional tour for the album, Aurora realised she didn't yet have her own nightlife staple: "Everyone was dancing, drinking... some were hooking up, everyone was just having a good time. I knew people weren't going to do that to 'Italian Nights'. I needed this kind of song."

"Forget You Got a Girlfriend" is composed as an EDM and dance-pop song. Lyrically, it tells a tale of two people flirting at a club, where one is already in a relationship. Upon this discovery, the moral dilemma becomes evident, however they continue their affair regardless. It features an EDM drop between the bridge and final chorus.

## Critical reception

"Forget You Got a Girlfriend" received mostly favourable reviews, with some critics considering it dated, while others dubbed it a dance floor anthem.

It received a rating of 7.333 by Platvian music critics.

## Commercial performance

"Forget You Got a Girlfriend" debuted and peaked at #3 on the Platvia HitList chart dated January 6, 2015.

## Lyrics

I see you checking me out
Boy don't you try to deny it
Not sure what that's all about
But I'm not about to fight it
I wanna get you alone
And won't take no for an answer
Don't need you to take me home
Just take me now, dirty dancer
**Pre-Chorus**
There's just one problem, lingering on your mind
You've got a girlfriend, but where is she tonight?
No point in waiting for the stars to align
So let's just do it baby, cause we've only got the night
**Chorus**
It's now or never, baby I won't ever
Tell nobody what we'll do tonight
Yeah it's do or die, and baby now's the time
That you're gonna rock my body right
Let's sneak away from the crowd, c'mon baby with me now
Gonna make it the night of your life
Just don't think about how I made you forget you got a girlfriend tonight
**Second Verse**
You get a text from your girl
Asking if you will be home soon
But she doesn't even know
We're making out in the bathroom
Now you've got like ten missed calls
Because your phone is on silent
You push me against the wall
I love it when it gets violent
**Pre-Chorus**
There's just one problem, lingering on your mind
You've got a girlfriend, but where is she tonight?
No point in waiting for the stars to align
So let's just do it baby, cause we've only got the night
**Chorus**
It's now or never, baby I won't ever
Tell nobody what we'll do tonight
Yeah it's do or die, and baby now's the time
That you're gonna rock my body right
Let's sneak away from the crowd, c'mon baby with me now
Gonna make it the night of your life
Just don't think about how I made you forget you got a girlfriend tonight
**Bridge**
And there's no need to think, just have another drink
We can find a place to do it in the stall or on the sink
No need to lock the door, just give a little more
Because soon enough we'll be back to grinding on the dance floor
**Chorus**
It's now or never, baby I won't ever
Tell nobody what we'll do tonight
Yeah it's do or die, and baby now's the time
That you're gonna rock my body right
Let's sneak away from the crowd, c'mon baby with me now
Gonna make it the night of your life
Just don't think about how I made you forget you got a girlfriend tonight
