The song marks their third official collaboration, and it was released on 8 December 2020, which is the one-year anniversary of Juice Wrld's death. About the song, Petras stated:
{{Blockquote|text="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, itβs 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."|author=Kim Petras|source=in an Instagram live clip.{{cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/tv/CIg_3dXpjgi/?hl=en|title=@kimpetras on Instagram|date=8 December 2020|access-date=18 December 2020|via=Instagram}}{{cite web|title=Kim Petras Explains The Origins Of Juice WRLD & The Kid LAROI's 'Reminds Me of You'|url=https://genius.com/a/juice-wrld-the-kid-laroi-s-reminds-me-of-you-is-a-cover-remix-of-kim-petras-reminds-me-origins|access-date=18 December 2020}}}}
= 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.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/9498376/first-stream-taylor-swift-kid-cudi-jack-harlow|title=First Stream: New Music From Taylor Swift, Kid Cudi, Jack Harlow & More|magazine=Billboard|last=Lipshutz|first=Jason|date=11 December 2020|access-date=18 December 2020}}
