Usher U Remind Me

“U Remind Me” is a song by American singer Usher. It was written by Edmund “Eddie Hustle” Clement and Anita McCloud and produced by Clement for Usher’s third studio album 8701 (2001). A mid-tempo contemporary R&B track, the song is about a man who meets a woman who seems like a nice catch, but he decides not to enter a relationship with her because she looks too much like an ex-girlfriend with whom he had a bad breakup.

The song served as the lead American single from 8701 following the release of previous single “Pop Ya Collar”, which was only included in some editions of the album. “U Remind Me” topped the US Billboard Hot 100 on July 7, 2001, and also reached the top five in Australia, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The song won Usher his first Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2002. Its accompanying music video features Chilli of TLC as one of the female leads.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yo, I ain’t seen you in a minute
But I got something to tell you
Listen

[Verse 1]
See, the thing about you that caught my eye
Is the same thing that makes me change my mind
Kind of hard to explain, but girl, I’ll try
You need to sit down, this may take a while
See this girl, she sort of looks just like you
She even smiles just the way you do
So innocent she seemed, but I was fooled
I’m reminded when I look at you

[Chorus]
You remind me of a girl, that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you

[Verse 2]
Thought that she was the one for me
Til I found out she was on her creep
Ooh, she was sexing everyone, but me
This is why we could never be

[Chorus]
You remind me of a girl, that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you

[Bridge]
I know it’s so unfair to you (it’s so unfair)
That I relate her ignorance to you
Wish I knew
Wish I knew how to separate the two
You remind me (you remind me)

[Chorus]
Whoa whoa oh oh oh oh
You remind me of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you, (gotta let you go)
You remind me of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through (all the shit she put me through)
This is why I just can’t get with you, no no
You remind me of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you
You remind me of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you
You remind me of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
You won’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you

[Outro]
You remind me of a girl that I once knew
See her face whenever I, I look at you
Wouldn’t believe all of the things she put me through
This is why I just can’t get with you
