Songfacts®:

Is Your Love Big Enough is an album about the perils and pleasures of romance, and this gently rollicking song finds La Havas singing about a rogue ex. The intelligently layered tune was co-produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, who's also worked with Jane's Addiction and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
La Havas told Reuters that's she's "very influenced by the old blues and generally just singing from your heart." She added: "Singers like Billie Holiday sang as if they had been through [life], so I'm really influenced by that and I wanted to inject that into the record. I've used the songs on the album to demonstrate my head and heart over the last three years."

Adrien from Near Paris, Franceforget? I don't think so, and here's why:

The key concept in 'Inception' is that you can plant an idea in someone's mind very simply through a process known as the 'irony process theory', quote : if I tell you not to think about a pink elephant what's is the first thing you think about? a pink elephant! unquote

so when she says "forget" she's really saying "you are so totally going to remember me"; she's basically planning to get under our collective skin and it's totally working for me XD
