The song, along with "
Talk Dirty to Me", "
Fallen Angel" and "
Ride the Wind", was the subject of a lawsuit in 2011 by members of the defunct band Kid Rocker, who claimed that the songs were based on Kid Rocker songs played to the Poison guitarist
C.C. DeVille before he was a member of Poison. The live, daytime concert footage for the official music video for "I Won't Forget You" was recorded at the 1987
Texxas Jam in
Dallas,
Texas. Nighttime concert footage was filmed at the
Cumberland County Civic Center in
Portland, Maine. Despite the song's success, it was dropped from the band's live shows in 1988 and did not return to the setlist until 2003, as noted by the vocalist
Bret Michaels that year when the band was about to play the song. == Reception ==
