In honor of his 32nd birthday, French Montana delivered a present to his fans sharing “Unforgettable” on Instagram, in a now deleted post, captioning:

🔥🔥🔥🔥 BIRTHDAY GIFT FROM ME TO YALLL THIS SHIT A MOOVIEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

About 5 months later, the song was re-mixed and mastered before being released as an official single, with a few changes including the Jeremih bridge being removed and replaced by Swae Lee and French, and the song ending after the second verse.
