==Music video==

The music video begins with lead singer [[Chad Gray]] walking through a house when he hears a metallic clanging and turns around to investigate. He turns around again to find a pig-masked [[Amanda Young]]. The camera then fades out and [[Jigsaw (Saw character)|Jigsaw]]'s voice can then be heard saying: "I want to play a game." Gray then awakens to find himself along with the rest of the band in a bunker with a timer of 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The timer starts and the band begins to perform. The music video ends with the timer running out as the song concludes, supposedly killing them.

In September 2005, the band met with film director [[Darren Lynn Bousman]], whose film ''[[Saw II]]'' was in production and would feature this single. Bousman showed them a scene depicting a man cutting his own eye out of his skull to retrieve a key. Gray told Bousman about the conversation at Bob's Big Boy two years earlier, and Bousman revealed that he holds his production meetings at the restaurant, and that ''Saw II'' had been based on a screenplay Bousman wrote years earlier.<ref name=Harris/> Gray appeared in a small role in the film, and Bousman directed the music video for "Forget to Remember", which featured clips from the film and performance footage shot on one of the film's sets.<ref name=Harris>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1512822/mudvayne-saw-ii-director-share-big-boy-moment.jhtml |title='Saw II' Eye-Plucking Scene: A Fateful Moment For Mudvayne |author=Harris, Chris |accessdate=5 October 2011 |date=November 2, 2005 |publisher=[[MTV News]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite video|title=Saw II Commentary|medium=DVD|publisher=[[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]]|people=[[Darren Lynn Bousman]], [[Donnie Wahlberg]] and [[Beverley Mitchell]]|date=2006 | accessdate=August 26, 2011|time=1:29:11– 1:29:13}}</ref>
