Remember when actually started as a 'push rewind' idea. The first thing I came up with was the 'push push push rewind' part. It instantly brought back memories of my first serious relationship. I started thinking about how different my life would have been if I had stayed in the relationship that fell apart as my career took off a few years ago. That was the inspiration behind the lyric 'as my future got bright, we started loosing light.' The rest of the song pretty much wrote itself. I just looked back at all the amazing things we did together.

I also really wanted to give the song a hard hitting optimistic undertone, so i made the music upbeat and fun. After all, the chorus is also a celebration of how amazing it was to be young and carelessly in love.
