Released on August 28, 2025, the track serves as a powerful testament to the influence and vitality of Jamaican music, uniting some of the genre’s most iconic voices with Khaled’s signature, celebratory production.
The song features a star-studded roster, including legendary figures like Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, and Mavado, each of whom delivers a memorable verse that showcases their individual style and profound impact on dancehall culture.

Hailed by fans and critics alike as a “dancehall dream team,” the single has already generated significant international buzz, and its release alongside the track “Brother” has been widely celebrated as a major musical event.
The official music video, which premiered on the same day as the song, visually reinforces the track’s vibrant and energetic spirit, serving as a powerful celebration of Caribbean heritage.
“You Remind Me“ is more than just a single; it is a collaborative milestone that underscores the enduring global reach and appeal of Jamaican music.
Quotable Lyrics:
Ayy, gyal, you remind me of summer
Shine so bright inna club, gyal
Why’d I meet you? I wonder
Pretty like di girls on di magazine cover
Gyal, you are di best, tell everybody I love her
Mek me feel mushy, she waan kiss up and cock her
Anywherе I go, gyal, everybody affi look
Wine up yuh body, gyal, lift up pon foot
Told dеm riddim [?], Khaled, you ah cook
Bruk it and set it and bruk it, yuh good
Addicted to ya face [?] like ya mouth
Ah fi forever, our love can’t run out
Anytime yuh have any doubt
While di sand under mi nose, I’m out
You remind me
Oh, I ain’t gon’ lie, you remind me (Girl, you remind me)
You remind me
Yes, you remind me, I want you to tell the world
Slowly, mi waan you tek time and wine
What you possess, gyal, is also mine
Ever met a gyal so goregous and fine?
Ever so often have God to remind you that
All we told you, squeeze up on yuh fat
Treat her like a queen, no cap
Some gyal good, some gyal average, some gyal are crap
Grip on di muscle, gyal, yuh move it like that
Remember, Buju love you, weh yuh love, yuh cyant stop
Turn up and yuh twist until [?]
Dem ah run off they mouth and nuff of dem ah chat
And you remind me when you ah sit upon mi lap
Oh, you love me and yuh treat me like a like [?], sha
