Zara Larsson & Mnek Earn RIAA 5x Platinum for "Never Forget You"

The 2015 single "Never Forget You" by Zara Larsson and Mnek has received a major certification update from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). On October 7, 2025, the Epic Records release was certified 5x Platinum, signifying 5,000,000 certified units in the United States. The digital single was a significant international breakthrough for both artists.

Released on September 10, 2015, "Never Forget You" was a collaboration between the Swedish singer Larsson and the British vocalist and producer MNEK. The track, co-written with Astronomyy, explores themes of longing and remembrance for a person who is missed. It served as one of two key singles, along with "Lush Life," that launched Larsson to global stardom. The song was later included as the seventh track on her second studio album and first international full-length release, So Good, which arrived in 2017.

Zara Larsson first gained national recognition in her native Sweden after winning the 2008 season of Talang, the Swedish adaptation of the Got Talent franchise. After signing with TEN Music Group in 2012, she achieved success in Scandinavia before a three-year deal with Epic Records brought her music to a worldwide audience. Her career includes a string of international hits such as "Lush Life," "Never Forget You," and "Ruin My Life," establishing her as a prominent figure in dance-pop and electropop with a substantial global following of over 10.8 million on Spotify.
