Remember
Producers
I'm doing just fine now it's over
I've been moving on and living my life
But occasionally I lose composure
And I can't get you out of my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could go back in time
I'd do things differently, yeah, I wouldn't think twice
I distract myself, think of someone else
But every now and then you remind me
[Chorus]
It's only when I'm lying in bed on my own
And I wake up and I don't see your name on my phone
It's in the moments where I think that I'm better alone
That's when I remember, that's when I remember
Every time I walk past your house in the rain
And I tell myself that you were the biggest mistake
And just when I think I'm finally doing okay
That's when I remember, that's when I remember
[Verse 2]
My friends tell me I shouldn't listen
To the voices that go round in my head
So I try to delete all the memories
But you're really hard to forget
If I could go back in time
I'd do things differently, I wouldn't think twice
I distract myself, think of someone else
But every now and then you remind me
[Chorus]
It's only when I'm lying in bed on my own
And I wake up and I don't see your name on my phone
It's in the moments where I think that I'm better alone
That's when I remember, that's when I remember
Every time I walk past your house in the rain
And I tell myself that you were the biggest mistake
And just when I think I'm finally doing okay
That's when I remember, that's when I remember
[Bridge]
I'm missing you (Ah, ah)
You (I'm missing, I'm missing)
I'm missing you
You
[Chorus]
It's only when I'm lying in bed on my own
And I wake up and I don't see your name on my phone
It's in the moments where I think that I'm better alone
That's when I remember, that's when I remember

Becky Hill:
I listened to Guetta as a kid. I remember playing [his song] “Sexy Bitch” at a house party when I was 15 and feeling like the coolest motherfucker in [my hometown] Bewdley. We did a couple of writing sessions over Zoom during lockdown and it didn’t work out. But then I sent him this song with the subject line ‘I have a hit I think you’ll like.’ He emailed back right away saying, ‘I love this song, what are you doing with it?’ I said I couldn’t give the song to him but I was open to having him on it with me, and he agreed. He really is the loveliest man in dance music, and I’m honoured that someone as prestigious as him is working with little old me.
