A midtempopop song, "Forgot to Laugh" exhibits elements of pop rock and funk. The song's instrumentation includes slow-bouncing guitar, keyboard tones, and drums. Lyrically, the song suggests betrayal and contempt for an ex-boyfriend.[citation needed] Mendler's vocals span from the low note of D3 to the high note of F5.
Critical reception
Sam Lansky of Idolator said "[Forgot to Laugh] is a shiny, guitar-driven pop-rock anthem, loaded with witty metaphors that would give Taylor Swift a run for her money." and later claimed that the song has a "monster chorus."[3] Kai of Embrace You Magazine stated "The track is well produced with a grungy electric guitar blending with a fierce bass and hard-hitting drums, and Mendler’s sassy vocals sound convincing the more the track takes off. The song’s ingenious verbiage is quite appealing, demonstrating the singer’s ability to incorporate humor in her songwriting and like the first track, pushes tension out the door."[4]Common Sense Media claimed "Mendler shows her playful side by trying some pop-rapping, and she even demonstrates a little attitude with lyrics like 'I promise you'll be on your knees if you leave.'"[5]
