"Forget Me Nots" is a song by American R&B musician Patrice Rushen, released in April 1982 by Elektra Records as the first single from her seventh album, Straight from the Heart (1982). The song is co-written by Rushen with Freddie Washington and Terri McFaddin, and was produced by Rushen. It received very little support from the record label, but became successful on the charts, peaking at No. 23 and 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100, as well as No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart. It also earned Rushen her first nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1983 Grammy Awards. Since its release, the song has been sampled and interpolated in several songs, including "Fastlove" by George Michael in 1996 and "Men in Black" by Will Smith in 1997.
