Imperative form
In English seems to be quite simple the imperative form.
Don't forget it.
Dont't do it.
But often I have seen(in music lyrics) like that:
Don't YOU forget it.
Don't YZO do it.
Is correct to add subject in imperative form?
Don't forget it.

It's a more emphatic, and possibly more aggressive, form of the imperative. ) It's not the standard way to form the imperative and if you use it that way, people may wonder what you're so angry about.

Hi,
With or without you, the pronoun is always there; if not explicit, as it is here, then implied.
