Background and composition
"Remember Me" is sung with soulful vocals by both Daley and Jessie J, and samples 'Should've Known Better' by Mica Paris (co-written by Omar) and "Woman of the Ghetto" by Marlena Shaw, in a similar manner to The Blue Boy's use of the same samples in his track of the same name. The song was produced by White N3rd and Balistiq - the production duo behind some of Delilah’s best known tracks, and Paul Heard (Wretch 32, "Don’t Go").[2]
The single quickly gained early spins from BBC Radio 1 as well as being added straight to Choice FM, KISS FM and BBC Radio 1Xtra's playlists. The single trended at Number 2 on UK Twitter during its first ever radio play.[3]

Critical reception
Krishma Kudhail of GRM Daily, who gave the song four stars out of five, wrote, "'Remember Me' sounds like a combination of soul and pop and Daley’s voice blends very well with the tempo of the beat. Daley and Jessie J show off their strong vocals, whilst also showing how well they can harmonize together. Daley proves how soulful he is to make it clear to his audience, that he is definitely a soul singer. This single gives a different flavour to UK music, for example, like the type of music Amy Winehouse made."[5]
