Reviews
Mike Wass from Idolator said: "'Do You Remember' is a winning mix of R&B and eerie electronica. It's a refreshingly original sound, but there's an undeniable pop sensibility that still makes it palatable to radio programmers and, as it turns out, the general public."
Chris from Indie Music Filters said: "[Do You Remember] feels like a tastefully subdued cousin of AWOLNation's hit 'Sail', plucked strings and deliberate percussion building to an excellent chorus."
The song was released to U.S. radio stations on 20 October 2009 and released as a digital download on iTunes on 3 November 2009. It is Sean's second single to enter the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the first male act since Chingy in 2003 to "simultaneously appear in the Hot 100 top 10 with his first two charting singles." The single has sold more than a million digital copies in the United States alone. It was later released in the UK on 22 February 2010.
The song was also featured at the start of the 2010 film remake of The Karate Kid.
Background
Speaking in February 2010 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning Blues & Soul, Jay explained the background to the track:
"Do You..." is a song by American R&B recording artist Miguel. It was released on September 18, 2012, as the second single from his 2012 album Kaleidoscope Dream. It was written by producer Jerry Duplessis, co-producer Arden Altino, guitarist Paul Pesco, and Miguel, who recorded the song at Platinum Sound Recording Studios in New York City. "Do You..." is a love song built around gentle guitar strumming and a playful rhythm section. Its lyrics pose flirtatious, rhetorical questions and feature both metaphorical and literal references to narcotics.
As a single, "Do You..." charted for eight weeks on the BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, peaking at number 32. It was well received by music critics, who praised Miguel's playful delivery and cited it as a highlight on Kaleidoscope Dream. A music video for the song was filmed in Las Vegas and showed Miguel and his girlfriend Nazanin Mandi on an intimate date. He performed "Do You..." on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and incorporated elements of Bob Marley's "Stir It Up" into the song in his other concert performances.
"Do You" is a 2007 single by American singer-songwriter Ne-Yo. It is about Ne-Yo questioning his ex-girlfriend if she ever thinks about him anymore. It is the second single from his second album, Because of You. The single was officially released to radio the week of June 12, 2007. In an interview with BET, Ne-Yo said that "Do You" is the second part to his song "So Sick" from his debut album, In My Own Words.
"Do You" was released on July 30 in UK as a download only single, despite receiving more video play than follow-up single "Can We Chill" (which received a physical release), resulting in a lower chart position of number 100 there, his lowest charting single.
Ne-Yo premiered "Do You" on BET's Access Granted on May 23, 2007.
Remixes
Two duet remixes of the song have been released, both versions featuring the female singer singing the second verse with different lyrics: one with fellow American R&B singer Mary J. Blige and the other with Japanese American pop singer Hikaru Utada. Utada's version was released digitally in Japan on November 21, 2007 as her 7th English single (her 27th single overall). The version with Utada was included on the Ne-Yo: The Collection Japanese compilation.
Do you still remember all that you said? I can still recall most every breath. Never can forget the person who breaks your heart. And now I can't let it go! I try to bury it somewhere it can't grow. No one ever enlightens you until it's too late. I won't give up so easy, Can't give up the fight! Nothing ever turns out, when it's said in the middle of the night. A situation so embarassing, everybody else knew everything. Why is it always me who's the last to know? You hid your secrets so poorly, I was so blind, I couldn't see. Why is love always something you push too far? I won't give up so easy, Can't give up the fight! Nothing ever turns out, when it's said in the middle of the night. I try to hate you, but I can't. I try to hurt you, but I can't. I tried to love you, but I won?t do that again. No, no, no, no. I try to hate you, but I can't. I try to hurt you, but I can't! I try, and I try, I try again! And I won't give up so easy, Can't give up the fight! Nothing ever turns out, When it's said in the middle of the night. And I won't give up so easy, Can't give up the fight!
