About 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 Edmund "Eddie Hustle" Clement along with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Usher's third studio album 8701 (2001). A fast-paced 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 the female leads.more »

Yo, I ain't seeing you in a minute, but I got something to tell ya, listen. See the thing about you, that caught my eye, Is the same thing that makes me change, my mind. Kinda hard to explain, but girl, I'll try. You need to sit down, this may take a while. You see, she sorta looks, just like you. She even smiles, just the way you do. So innocent, she seemed, but I was schooled I'm reminded when I look at you, but, You remind of a girl, that I once knew. See her face whenever I, I look at you. You won't believe all of the things that she put me through. This is why I just can't get with you. Thought that she was the one for me, Til I found out she was on her dream, Oh, she was sexing everyone, but me. This is why we could never be. You remind of a girl, that I once knew. See her face whenever I, I look at you. You won't believe all of the things that she put me through. This is why I just can't get with you. I know it's so unfair to you, But I'd be lingering the rest to you, Wish I knew, wish I knew how to separate the two You remind me, whoa... You remind of a girl, that I once knew. See her face whenever I, I look at you. You won't believe all of the things that she put me through. This is why I just can't get with you. You remind of a girl, that I once knew.
