"Remind Me" is the seventh track on Eminem's ninth studio album, Revival (2017). The song features a sample of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' 1981 hit "I Love Rock 'n' Roll." ^[2]

Composition and lyrics

"Remind Me" blends hard-rock guitar riffs with hip-hop beats, built around the prominent guitar riff sampled from Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," layered over programmed drums and bass. Eminem's verses use satirical wordplay to describe encountering someone who shares his personality traits. ^[2]

Critical reception

• " Paste Magazine " observed that the track's hook—"I love you 'cause you remind me of me"—adds a playful twist to the sampled chorus, calling it "catchy and tongue-in-cheek." ^[6]
• "Firstpost" noted its rap-rock style, highlighting the contrast between its energetic riff and the more contemplative songs elsewhere on "Revival". ^[2]
