"Can't Forget You" was Sonia's second single, released in September 1989. The mid-tempo song later appeared on her debut album, Everybody Knows, released in 1990. Contrary to fan speculation,[1] "Can't Forget You" was written specifically for Sonia by Stock/Aitken/Waterman;[2] it was not initially offered to Kylie Minogue.[2]
