remember Lyrics

[Intro]
It's a blue world without you
It's a blue world alone

[Verse 1]
Swear it was just like a year ago
Side of the stage, I was at the show
Right person, wrong life
Thought I could make it all right
See you in the next life
Hope you're close to the light, yeah

[Verse 2]
Didn't get to say goodbye to you
But I feel like I never needed to
'Cause in my mind, you ain't gone
Still be hittin' your phone
Even though it ain't on
So just in case you don't know

[Chorus]
Look at this love we have for you
They say the good ones go too soon
I didn't want it to be you, oh
I remember (Remember, remember, ah)
I remember (Remember, remember)
I remember (Remember, remember, ah)
I remember (Remember, remember)

[Verse 3]
I'm flippin' through all these images (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So troubled but you were so innocent (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Always kept it so cool, tryin' to be just like you (Ooh, just like you)
My nightmare came true
'Least you're up on the moon, babe (Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Look at these lights, they just for you
They say the good ones go too soon
I really wish it weren't you
I remember (Remember, remember, ah)
I remember (Remember, remember)
I remember (Remember, remember, ah)
I remember (Remember, remember)

About

“remember” is a track that was intended for Ariana Grande’s fifth studio album, thank u, next. It was teased in the music video for “breathin,” a single from her previous studio album, Sweetener.

The track is believed to be dedicated to Mac Miller, an ex-boyfriend of Ariana, who unfortunately passed away due to an overdose on September 7, 2018. Mac also has a track titled “REMember,” which he dedicated to his friend who passed away. Ariana has another track on this album, “imagine,” that is dedicated to Mac and reflects many lyrics from his 2016 song “Cinderella.”

Ariana decided not to release “remember” because she “wasn’t ready to share it with the world.” Instead, she released the track “break up with your girlfriend, I’m bored” in its place.

On June 22, 2022, an early demo of “remember” surfaced online. Five days later, a newer version of the song surfaced, which contains a sample of The Four Freshman’s “It’s A Blue World” in the intro.
