Now, here we are twenty years later, and our political parties can’t agree on what day it is. “America experienced this extraordinary moment with 9/11 that brought us all together. “This classic with a timely and relevant read a question that all Americans are asking themselves – ‘how did we get here?’” Scott Borchetta, a label executive, added. “Have we forgotten who we really are? / All the storms we’ve had to weather and how we ever got this far / Have we forgotten how it used to be / When we could still sit down together and agree to disagree / And the common good was what we had in common / Have we forgotten? / Have we forgotten?” Worley sings. In the updated version, Taste of Country reported, “Specific references to war, the Pentagon and Osama Bin Laden are swapped out for sentiments of unity, as well.” Since then, Worley explained, “it seems like the American people are caught up in this drama and this conflict and just always at odds about something.” You know, pull together as one,” he continued. And I think it’s terrible it has to come to something like that for our people to show their American pride. The most amazing thing that I’ve seen in all of my years.

“And, I mean, man, I just keep going back to 9/12, how unified we were. “Have You Forgotten?” was written when the country came together after the national tragedy. While initially hesitant, Worley and Varble decided, “Hey, you know what? If it affects a thousand people, and they have maybe just a little bit of a new thought process about what could we do to be a part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem.” “His idea was to call it ‘Have We Forgotten?’ and write it about our division and how just what, if anything, that anyone could do to bring about a little bit of unity might help in our nation,” Worley explained. Singer-songwriter Noah Gordon first approached Worley about updating the song. “While ‘Have You Forgotten?’ was intended to serve as a reminder of the devastation wrought by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the follow-up features retooled lyrics that promote a message of unity,” Fox News reported.
