Promotion

On 8 February, Petras performed the song at Manchester Academy on the second night of her two night stint. [3] On the single's release date, Petras tweeted: "💔 #REMINDSME IS OUT NOW 💔 i wanted to make a song for everyone else that might not be getting flowers n chocolates this valentines day . stream this shit if u feel me !!" [4] The song's release was accompanied with an announcement that Petras would join Camila Cabello for the European leg of The Romance Tour. [5] In 2020, she performed the song on Vevo Lift.

Description and reception

MTV's Madeline Roth described "Reminds Me" as an "anti-Valentine's song" and an "ice-cold breakup bop", with Petras "spilling her thoughts over a springy R&B beat". [6] Shaad D'Souza of The Fader called the song a "downcast, mid-tempo trap ballad" and the "kind of breakup track that would have fit perfectly on Petras' recent debut album Clarity". [7] Capital FM made a very similar description, also calling the track "steady". [8] Idolator 's Mike Nied described the song as a "bop" with "relatable" lyrics, which he said "capture what it feels like to have your heart broken by someone you trusted". Nied said the song has Petras "chasing away memories of an ex" and "[mourning] over a sparse soundscape. [9] Consequence of Sound 's Lake Schatz described "Reminds Me" as a "thumpin' tune", [10] and Valerie Stepanova of V Magazine called the song a "beat-heavy breakup bop". [11] Billy Nilles of E! News wrote that the song was "remarkably relatable". [12] Laura Johnson from Stereoboard outlined the song as "beat-heavy, R&B influenced pop track". [13]

Juice Wrld and the Kid Laroi cover version

"Kid Laroi asked to do the song, but also back when we were doing the song, Juice came to the studio and he recorded this amazing verse on "Reminds Me", and had I always, always in the back of my mind hoped it would see the light of day. I've always hoped there was some kind of way his verse could come out so, it’s coming out tonight. I don't feel at all that anyone took anything from anybody, I just think this is giving the song a whole new life."

Kim Petras, in an Instagram live clip. [16] [17]

Composition

On the track, the Kid Laroi and Juice Wrld talk about how everything reminds them of their past lovers and lament how hard it is for them to move on after a failed relationship. The song "re-imagines" Petras' version, "morphing her electro-pop euphoria" into a heartbroken emo-rap song. [18]
