"Remember Me" is a song by Sea Power, released in 2001 as their second single and the first released after signing to Rough Trade Records. "Remember Me" the first track to be recorded with long-time producer Mads Bjerke.

Jan Scott Wilkinson stated in an interview that the lyrics are about "mortality and stuff", but also that the inspiration for the song came from brother, and then manager of the band, Roy Wilkinson developing a boil due to stress that would get larger the more he worried about it.[1]

"Remember Me" was re-recorded for the debut album, The Decline of British Sea Power. The version from The Decline of British Sea Power was also released as its final single in 2003 and reached number 30 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] B-side "A Lovely Day Tomorrow" was also re-recorded three years later and released as a limited edition single. In 2013, "Remember Me" was voted no. 9 in the BBC 6Music Top 100 songs[3].
