Remember

## **Remember** by Ariana Grande

"**Remember**" (possibly stylized as "**reMeMber**") is a scrapped song by Ariana Grande and Y/N intended for her fifth studio album *Thank U, Next*.

## Background

The song was intended to be on Grande's fifth album, *Thank U, Next*, but was replaced by "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored". Grande decided not to release it as she felt it was too personal and was about her ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller. The title of the song was teased on a departures board from Grande's music video for "Breathin", the third single from her fourth studio album *Sweetener* prior to the decision to scrap the song.

It is thought that this song is about Grande's ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller who died on September 7, 2018 from an accidental drug overdose.

A snippet of this song leaked back in December of 2020. Another snippet leaked in August of 2021. Demo one of the song leaked on June 22, 2022 in medium quality but a higher quality version was later leaked. An edited version, confirmed to be similar to Demo five leaked on June 28, 2022, along with the instrumental and acapella for it. A TV track version was also leaked. It was said that this was the final pop version, but not the final version overall.

All of the demos leaked on March 28, 2023, along with the pro tools for the song. Most demos of the song sample "It's A Blue World" by The Four Freshmen in its intro. Mac Miller used this exact sample in his song "Blue World" from his 2020 posthumous album, Circles.

**[Intro]**

*It's a blue world without you*
*It's a blue world alone*

**[Verse 1: Ariana Grande & *Y/N*]**
*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 alright

See you in the next life

Hope you're close to the light, yeah

**[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]**

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: Ariana Grande]**

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

**[Verse 3: Y/N]**

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, was tryna be just like you (Ooh, like you)

My nightmare came true

'Least you're up on the moon, babe (Ooh-ooh)

**[Chorus: Y/N]**

Look at these lights, they're just for you

They say the good ones go too soon

I really wish it weren't you

I remember (Remember, remember, ah)
