Synopsis

Lisa Loeb turns a hotel room into the aftermath of a romantic blowup in this playful yet frustrated 1997 video. Performing amid scattered belongings and increasing disorder, she channels the song's argument between wanting to move past a disagreement and still feeling hurt by dishonesty. The increasingly wrecked room mirrors the emotional mess, giving the otherwise polished pop production a mischievous, destructive edge.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was made for "Let's Forget About It," the second single from Loeb's 1997 album *Firecracker*. The single was released in the United States on March 24, 1998.
  • The video's central image is Loeb trashing a hotel room, an intentionally exaggerated visual counterpart to a relationship argument that the song tries to dismiss.
  • "Let's Forget About It" reached No. 71 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 in Canada.
  • The track was written by Loeb and co-produced by Loeb and Juan Patino, her longtime collaborator.
  • Although the video leans into comic destruction, the song's final emotional turn complicates its breezy title: Loeb is willing to stop crying if the other person stops lying.

Lyrics

i told you i was sorry, i told you i was wrong,
i said it was an accident and don't tell anyone.

but you love to circle round and round, you're so misunderstood.
yeah, you love to circle round and round & you know that we should
forget about it -

let's forget about it

you lied about how much you knew, i thought you were my friend.
you lied upon the mattress, c'mon tell me where you've been.
you lied about this night apart, you lied about the room.
if you're gonna have to lie to me then
