Maggie Rogers Returns with Heartfelt New Single "In The Living Room" and Kicks Off The Don’t Forget Me Tour, Part II
Maggie Rogers has a way of capturing the essence of raw emotion and turning it into melodies that linger long after the music stops. Today, she unveils her latest single, "In The Living Room," released through Capitol Records. This track marks her first new release since April’s "Don't Forget Me" album, which has already made waves in the music world. It’s no surprise that Rolling Stone and The New York Times have named it among the “Best Albums of the Year (So Far).”
"In The Living Room" transports listeners to a time when Rogers was “young and hungry,” yet wise beyond her years. Co-written and produced alongside Ian Fitchuk (known for his work with Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris), the song weaves together nostalgia and vulnerability. Rogers’ vocals, rich with yearning, flow through the lyrics: “But I will always remember you / When we were dancing in the living room.” It’s a track that lingers, like a memory you just can’t shake. And if the lyrics aren’t enough to tug at your heartstrings, the accompanying video, directed by Grant Singer, certainly will. The visual moves seamlessly between past and present, embodying that bittersweet ache of looking back on love.
Rogers describes the song as one born out of a reflective moment back in March 2023. She and Fitchuk had already laid the groundwork with "Don't Forget Me" but decided to dig deeper for just one more story. “‘In The Living Room’ is about the beauty and pain of memory,” she says, and the way those memories blur the lines between what was and what is. It’s an introspective continuation of themes explored in "Don't Forget Me"—how we hold on to the people who shaped us, even as we forge ahead.
But Maggie Rogers isn’t just about introspection. She’s ready to bring these songs to life on stage, as she launches “The Don’t Forget Me Tour, Part II” starting October 9 in Austin, TX. Fans can expect a string of electric performances, with stops at some of the biggest venues in North America, including two nights at the iconic Madison Square Garden and a show at the legendary Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The tour is a continuation of her journey through the deeply personal album, and it promises to deliver more of the magnetic stage presence that Rogers has become known for.
Rogers has always been about breaking boundaries, and this tour is no exception. True to her roots, she’s keeping things fan-friendly with an old-school, in-person ticketing approach—ensuring that the energy stays authentic and intimate, even in arenas. And if you’re lucky enough to catch her at the Austin City Limits Music Festival on October 12, you’re in for a treat. Maggie Rogers live is an experience in itself—a fusion of poetic storytelling and unbridled passion.
Critics and fans alike have already been swept up by "Don't Forget Me." From a sold-out night under the stars at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre to a rousing set at Bonnaroo, Rogers has made this year her own. She even earned a declaration of “Maggie Rogers Day” from Maryland Governor Wes Moore, marking a homecoming performance at Merriweather Post Pavilion.
Her third studio album, "Don't Forget Me," has been described by Pitchfork as her “strongest yet,” highlighting a newfound clarity and power in her voice. And the title track’s success on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart, securing her fourth No. 1, only underscores her evolution as an artist. Fans have been raving about "Don’t Forget Me" on social media, and it's clear that Maggie Rogers' impact is only growing with each release.
